Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The brutality of Peri's preparation (shaved, gagged, strapped to the bed) directly causes the Doctor's eventual confrontation with Frax outside the control centre to learn Peri's location. This establishes a causal chain where Peri's suffering drives the Doctor's immediate actions."
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.
