Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's acceptance of Lamia's offer (beat_b6b87d41ae639d70) is directly motivated by K9's prior confirmation that Romana is being held in Castle Gracht (beat_4b9c8c9ca83688e0). The Doctor's high-risk decision is rooted in this intelligence, creating a direct causal link between Romana's captivity and the Doctor's subsequent actions."
About Causal Connections
