Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Cyber Leader's explicit order in Episode 21 to capture the Doctor alive (bulkhead breach scene) directly causes the Cyber Leader's later actions in Episode 22 to use the Doctor as leverage (threatening Tegan's life to force Doctor's compliance)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This chain of command reveals the Cyber Leader's strategic continuity: their fixation on capturing the Doctor alive (to prevent further interference with Cyber invasions) drives their subsequent manipulation of the Doctor on the freighter bridge. The Cyber Leader's tactical directive in Part 3 is the prerequisite for the coercive leverage in Part 4.
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.
