Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor and Zoe's capture and forced entry into the Dynatrope (Episode 20) directly leads to the Krotons' strategic recalibration to value Jamie as an intelligence asset in Episode 21."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Krotons' observation of the Doctor, Zoe, and Jamie in the wastelands (which follows their capture) is a direct consequence of the Doctor and Zoe's forced involvement in the Dynatrope. This escalates the plot by introducing Jamie's new peril and the Krotons' interest in him as a potential asset.
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.
