In theory (different ticket) would mean that they would reschedule me, but I'm not sure of the reality of this.
"In theory". Of course they could always cancel your next reservation in its entirety because you missed the first flight.
Buy separate tickets is a gamble. They are under no obligation to take care of you. Anything that they do to help you is in the name of Customer Service.
