Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The rescue mission from Part 4 culminates in the defeat of the Ice Warrior in Part 5. Jamie's growing sense of urgency and loyalty in the maintenance tunnels (e.g., 'We've got to try and save him') drives his actions in Part 5, where he actively contributes to saving the Doctor and Kelly from the Ice Warrior ambush.
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.
