Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's risky data collection from motionless Yeti (Episode 9) leads to Travers being trapped by Yeti during his cave expedition (Episode 10). The earlier action's consequence manifests later."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Episode 9's tension around the Yeti's stillness (potential vulnerability) foreshadows Episode 10's peril when Travers faces active Yeti patrols. The narrative uses this parallel to escalate stakes between the episodes.
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.
