Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor and Zoe's forced entry into the Dynatrope (Episode 20) causes the Gonds' knowledge of the Doctor's survival, which then triggers Thara's revelation of Eelek's war plan (Episode 21)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Krotons' realization that the Doctor and Zoe are not Gonds (from Episode 20) leads to their demand for capture, which indirectly reveals their survival to the Gonds in Episode 21. This knowledge fuels the Gonds' urgency for action.
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.
