Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Kerensky’s reckless temporal experiment and the Doctor’s dismantling of his flawed science in Part 2 directly enable his subsequent subjugation by Scarlioni in Part 3."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s destruction of Kerensky’s experiment (Part 2) strips him of credibility and leverage, making him vulnerable to Scarlioni’s domination in Part 3. Scarlioni capitalizes on Kerensky’s diminished state, reinforcing the cause-and-effect chain of Kerensky’s downfall across episodes.
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.
