Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Blythe's report of UNIT's suspicious departure (Episode 11) directly causes Hart's skepticism to fracture under the Doctor's evidence (Episode 12). The procedural anomaly she uncovered sets up the credibility gap that the Doctor exploits to shift Hart's stance."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This causal link shows how Blythe's role in exposing institutional failings (taxi vs. Land Rover) enables the Doctor's larger argument about the Master's manipulation. Her reporting indirectly undermines Hart's institutional trust, paving the way for the Doctor's revelations.
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.
