Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's instruction to K9 to poleaxe Marius (beat_f5152c35d15821e7) directly results in K9's successful incapacitation of Marius (beat_8f0d2a9a37ee7473), allowing the Doctor and Leela to return to the isolation ward and proceed with their plan. This demonstrates the Doctor's strategic use of K9's abilities to advance their mission."
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.
