Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The appearance of two coats (Doctor’s original and Meglos’s duplicate) in Meglos’s lab creates immediate confusion and leads to Grugger ordering the Doctor’s capture. This triggers the sequence that results in both doppelgangers being imprisoned and later freed."
About Causal Connections
