How these two moments in the story relate

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Kent's panic and reversal of the order to stop 'Salamander' (i.e., the Doctor) directly causes the Doctor to end up in Kent's office, where Kent then reveals the Doctor's presence to others in Episode 18. This establishes the Doctor's covert infiltration plan.
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.
