Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor persuades the Megara to access Vivien’s memory cells (beat_54e682afe3bef7f6), which directly leads to the Megara discovering her true identity and convicting her of crimes, resulting in her sentence to perpetual imprisonment as a standing stone (beat_c2fcf338e86f0e58). This is the judicial climax of the trial."
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.
