Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Following the fight, Marco Polo urges the Doctor to take the TARDIS keys quickly (beat_2fe4db5a999cfb28) which are likely given to the Doctor using the parchment to escape, directly connected to Marco Polo handing it to the Doctor to stay put and after he realizes the Khan is in danger (beat_3ab7dc8a8c24650f)."
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.
