Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Xerons' strategic decision to track the Doctor's group in E27 ('We'll try and cut them off') directly leads to their later decision to dispatch Dako to find Barbara in E28, creating a chain of pursuit across episodes."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The rebels' failed attempt to capture the Doctor in E27 forces them to adapt their tactics, resulting in their systematic efforts to locate the TARDIS crew in E28. This escalation of pursuit drives the plot forward.
About Causal Connections
