Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's initial dominance over Andred with K9's stun sets the stage for their later alliance and shared defense of Gallifrey. The same control dynamics that let the Doctor trap Andred in Act 1 re-emerge when Andred and K9 cooperate in Act 3 to eliminate a guard in the corridor."
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.
