Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Lamia's failed attempt to extract the Key Segment from the android double in Episode 14 directly leads to her fixation on the alien relic (Romana) in Episode 15, as the android's imperviousness forces her to explore alternative means to Grendel's goals."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection establishes Madame Lamia's escalating desperation and adaptability. Her technical failure in Episode 14 forces her to shift focus to Romana, her unexpected captive with Gallifreyan technology, thereby advancing Grendel's schemes in Episode 15.
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.
