Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Benton and Yates witness the televised broadcast of the Devil's Hump dig, including Horner's dismissal of supernatural warnings and Miss Hawthorne's interruption. This directly leads to their detection of the broadcast anomaly at Devil's End in Part 2."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The events in Part 1 establish the immediacy of the supernatural threat at Devil's End (via the broadcast and Hawthorne's protest), which directly causes the sense of crisis when the BBC feed cuts out during the dig in Part 2. Benton's role as an observer in Part 1 transitions to an active investigator in Part 2, driven by the earlier events.
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.
