Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's attempt to repair K9 using a memory wafer behind the mirror leads to K9's removal and subsequent eviction from the spaceship, where Romana is then captured. This separation of the Doctor and K9 sets off a chain of events where Romana is recaptured, and the gap between the companions widens."
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.
