Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Brigadier's earlier crisis (simultaneous phone failures in Episode 6) is directly referenced in Episode 7 when Yates interrupts the Chin Lee briefing with a new crisis ('hold up with his cargo'), implying the escalating nature of UNIT's operational failures."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The unresolved tension from Episode 6 (failed communications, Chin Lee's return) carries forward into Episode 7 as an active crisis (missile targeting), reinforcing the escalation of threats.
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.
