Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s growing understanding of Goth’s involvement with the Master (based on the hypodermic needle and Goth’s confession) leads directly to Engin’s revelation that the needle contained a neural inhibitor and the Master is alive. This is a key investigative payoff in the Doctor’s detective arc."
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.
