Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Ranquin's condemnation of the Doctor and Romana to death by ritual (beat_9c2a1a252de437eb) directly prompts the Doctor's realization that Kroll is actively moving and his window to intervene is closing (beat_affbbd02c7e58e44), forcing him into grasping the urgency of the ecological threat."
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.
