Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Vicki's capture (Episode 33) leads to her unconscious arrival on Mechanus (Episode 34), creating a direct causal link between the two events. This escalates the narrative tension, as the Daleks now have a human hostage in an alien environment. The group's rescue mission becomes more urgent.
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.
