Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s exclusion of Jo from the Axos mission in Episode 11 marginalizes her within UNIT’s command structure, contributing to her marginalization and emotional strain in Episode 12, where she is found disoriented and dismissed as hallucinating."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This sequence directly links the Doctor’s authority-driven decision in Episode 11 to Jo’s psychological vulnerability in Episode 12. Her defiance of orders in Episode 12 can be seen as a reaction to this exclusion, reinforcing her character arc of loyalty vs. autonomy.
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.
