Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The mention of Tegan's isolated dreaming and the risk of the Mara's influence in her visions (from Episode 11) directly leads to the Doctor and Karuna racing to Tegan in Episode 12 to wake her from her trance. This prioritizes Tegan's safety as an immediate narrative concern."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The earlier event seeds Tegan's vulnerability to psychic attack through her dreaming, which the later event treats as an urgent priority. This establishes Tegan's recurring role as a target of the Mara and aligns her arc with the escalating supernatural threat.
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.
