Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The unseen entity stalking Jo in the TARDIS (in Episode 15) foreshadows the presence of Spiridon's invisible natives, culminating in Codal's capture by a Spiridon patrol during a distraction attempt in Episode 16."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The triangular footprints left behind by the TARDIS intruder in Episode 15 mirror the invisible Spiridon's presence in Episode 16. This connects the unexplained threat in Episode 15 to the active danger in Episode 16, escalating the narrative from a generic 'monster' trope to the specific threat of Spiridon's defenses.
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.
