Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Monarch's interrogation of Adric in Episode 7 (seeking information about the Doctor and the TARDIS) directly enables Monarch's later use of Nyssa as leverage against the Doctor in Episode 8, as his prior testing of the group's dynamics informs his coercive strategy."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Adric's naive revelation of technical knowledge in Episode 7 (Part 3) provides Monarch with critical leverage later exploited in Episode 8 (Part 4), where he weaponizes Nyssa's capture to manipulate the Doctor.
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.
