Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's non-interference policy, referenced in Episode 24 when Steven fails to prevent the Abbot's murder, directly causes the Doctor's dismissive attitude toward Anne's warnings in Episode 25. This policy sets the stage for the massacre and Steven's later accusations."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The earlier event establishes the Doctor's historical non-interference as a core principle, which later manifests in his dismissal of Anne's warning and ultimately leads to Steven's guilt over Anne's fate.
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.
