Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Doctor opening the TARDIS doors (beat_ceb43a23124687b7), motivated by proving his claims to Ian, directly precedes his leaving the safety of the ship to collect samples (beat_50f879582047765c), which leads to his capture."

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.
