Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's discovery of Skagra's thefts in Part 5 (cand_evt_scene_ef7527dcafe7ddd4_3) is the direct cause of Skagra's expanded plan in Part 6 (cand_evt_scene_8d9c426422f9a450_1), where the TARDIS is used as a vessel for Skagra's prisoners and command center for his mind-control fleet. This connection underscores the escalation from theft to universal domination.

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.
