Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's exposure of the Krotons' lies in Episode 19 (Event 03) directly leads to his exploration of the machine's hidden foundations under the Learning Hall in Episode 20 (Event 01). The Doctor's pursuit of the truth about Abu's death and Vana's trauma sets up his investigation of the under-hall."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's active questioning and confrontation with Selris and Eelek in Episode 19 creates the immediate trigger for his further investigation in Episode 20. His discovery of the under-hall machinery is a direct consequence of the transparency he sought during the ceremony.
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.
