Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Fewsham's false loyalty in Ep. 27 (Part 5) enables Slaar to trust him sufficiently to reveal critical Martian invasion details, which directly leads to the Doctor's later sabotage of the Martian fleet being discovered and confirmed in Ep. 28 (Part 6)"

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Fewsham's coerced collaboration with the Ice Warriors in Ep. 27 is directly linked to Slaar's belief in Fewsham's loyalty, which is later shattered when Fewsham's sabotage of the Martian fleet guidance system is exposed. This exposure allows the Doctor's sabotage to be confirmed by Slaar in Ep. 28, escalating the conflict's resolution.
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.
