Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tegan's injury in the initial warehouse battle (Episode 12) directly escalates the stakes in Episode 13. Her diminished physical state makes her a liability in the warehouse siege, culminating in her forced transfer to the Dalek ship."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Tegan's injury is not just a momentary plot device—it creates a persistent vulnerability that forces the remaining characters (especially Laird) into desperate, high-stakes decisions in Episode 13. The Doctor's urgency to find Turlough in Episode 12 also foreshadows the peril Tegan faces aboard the Dalek ship.
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
