Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s theory that King John is an imposter (beat_baba40d4e47124ad) receives definitive confirmation when Geoffrey de Lacy arrives and directly accuses Sir Gilles of impersonating the King (beat_1483d3d0d37581dd). This is the first external, authoritative corroboration of the Doctor’s suspicion — a turning point in Act 1."
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.
