Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's psychological assault in Episode 6 (from the Keller Machine) leads directly to Jo's abduction being discovered by the Brigadier in Episode 7. The Doctor's urgency in Episode 6 (e.g., 'Tell him to lock that door') creates a context where Jo's absence is noticed."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's traumatic encounter with the Keller Machine in Episode 6 leaves him vulnerable and distracted, contributing to the lack of immediate oversight of Jo. This oversight failure enables Jo's abduction in Episode 7 to occur and be noticed only later, creating a causal chain of events.
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.
