Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Steven's insistence on leaving the key for 'the Doctor' at the Last Chance Saloon (beat_5aa89df4bd0d372a) directly causes the Clantons to become suspicious and investigate further, eventually leading them to believe Steven is an associate of Holliday (beat_4ec54107b90275b2)."

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.
