Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Leela’s poisoning by Calib (via the Janis thorn) is the direct consequence of her defiance and cross-episode continuity with her earlier exile."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Leela’s rejection of tribal authority in Episode 13 (her banishment and flight) leads directly to her vulnerability in Episode 14, which Calib exploits by stabbing her. This creates the immediate crisis that drives the plot forward: the need for the Doctor to save her using restricted technology.
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.
