Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Wrack's order to Mannell to 'gain on Captain Striker's yacht' leads directly to the Doctor's observation in the yacht's wheelhouse that Wrack must be using a 'focus' to channel the 'power of darkness.' The race's escalation forces Wrack to reveal her vulnerability: she needs an external tool to manifest power."
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.
