Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The destruction of the Romana android by K9 (beat_b0835badc49e0dcf) triggers Grendel's panicked order to attack the Pavilion (beat_221a25b5dcce022f), leading to the accidental shooting of Lamia. This chain of events shows how the Doctor's actions inadvertently escalate the conflict."
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.
