Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Harry reveals the loss of the Time Ring in Episode 14, intensifying the survival mission, which directly leads to the Doctor being subjected to Davros's interrogation in Episode 15. The lost artifact deprives them of their only means of escape, making the Doctor's vulnerability under torture a critical development."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The loss of the Time Ring (Episode 14) sets the stage for the Doctor's forced interrogation (Episode 15), as the inability to escape Skaro leaves him with no options but to confront Davros. This causal chain elevates the stakes and underscores the urgency of the Doctor's situation.

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.
