Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The initial encounter with the laser-firing creature in the Lower Level sets up the later meeting in the Lower Levels when the Doctor and Glitz are also pursued by it, creating a sustained tension and leading to the Doctor’s intervention to prevent killing it—establishing its non-hostile role."
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.
