Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s realization that the Valeyard is trying to humiliate him drives Glitz’s attempted departure, but the Doctor counters by warning that the Valeyard will kill Glitz if he leaves. This leads directly to Glitz’s decision to stay and help, solidifying their alliance under duress."
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.
