Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The failure of their escape in Episode 11 forces the Doctor and Jo into the Master's hands, setting up their imprisonment and attempted escape in Episode 12. The presence of Ogrons in Episode 11 as antagonists directly contributes to the Doctor and Jo's dire situation in Episode 12, where Ogrons remain a looming threat.

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.
