Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The discovery of the mummified alien corpse (including its egg sac and membrane) in Episode 6 directly informs the Doctor's understanding of the Wirrn threat's biology and weakness to electricity in Episode 7."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries the conflict's scientific escalation. The mummified remains in Episode 6 reveal the Wirrn's parasitic lifecycle (egg sac, membrane), which the Doctor later leverages in Episode 7 to deduce the Wirrn's vulnerability to electricity. This bridges the static exhibit of horror (corpse) to the dynamic threat (active larva), linking the two episodes' investigative threads.
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.
