Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Master’s demand for the Sash of Rassilon and revelation of his plan to use it directly leads to his retrieval of the Great Rod and activation of the Eye of Harmony. The Sash is not just a symbol—it is a key to divine power, and the Doctor’s recognition of its importance drives the central conflict to its climax."
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.
