Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Brigadier’s revelation of UNIT’s extraterrestrial mandate (Event 066356e36065b09e_02) sets the stage for his immediate actions when faced with the Doctor’s alien state, driving his inquiry about the coma."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This link establishes the Brigadier’s consistent commitment to his role. His prior disclosure of UNIT’s purpose (handling alien threats) directly informs his strategic response to the Doctor’s alien physiology in Episode 2.
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.
