The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's negotiation with Eldrad to ensure Watson's safety (beat_2c71c748ee42bb0c) directly leads to their departure for the TARDIS, where Eldrad's first encounter with the ship's temporal engineering is depicted (beat_227cdac5cb673434), marking a shift in the narrative's scope and the beginning of the interstellar arc."
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.
