Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor calls Vivien as a witness (beat_76f0b23961cb929a) to expose her under oath, which sets up the later revelation of her true identity as Cessair of Diplos (beat_be59728071d080d4). The act of forcing her to testify directly enables the Doctor’s deduction that she is Cessair when he realizes the inconsistencies in her identity."
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.
