Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor walking alone toward the temple doorway (beat_ebd0e6799c39d315) leaves Sarah and Giuliano vulnerable, allowing Federico to block their paths and announce Giuliano's death with his men (beat_a58eff757b5e1d3d). This separation due to the Doctor's insistence on solo action directly enables the ambush."
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.
