Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
As the Doctor is separated from the group (cand_evt_scene_e341be1430513f43_02), Ian's subsequent ambush of a guard outside (cand_evt_scene_9f0b180278bf85c7_01) is motivated by the need to rescue him. This extends the Doctor's disappearance into a narrative engine.

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.
