Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Caven's plan to rig the Liz with a sabotaged oxygen pump and remote control (established in Part 5) directly enables the Liz 79's remote hijacking and abandonment in Part 6, leaving the Doctor, Jamie, and Zoe stranded."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries the core thread of Caven's manipulation, showing how his earlier scheme directly causes the subsequent abandonment and crisis. The Doctor's later deduction of remote sabotage in Part 6 only makes sense in light of his prior knowledge of Caven's framing plan.
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.
