Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"K9's capture by Soldeed (cand_evt_scene_6fa13ad6695ffb68_1 in Episode 19) directly enables Sorak's interaction with and reactivation of K9 in Episode 20 (cand_evt_scene_0bc835521964bd06_1). Without K9 being brought to Soldeed's lab, Sorak wouldn't have the opportunity to probe its systems or witness its autonomy."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This cross-episode link establishes K9's imprisonment as a pivotal plot device. It enables Sorak's curiosity to become a driving force in the Doctor's team, as K9's reactivation leads to critical insights and his eventual alliance with the Doctor.
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.
