Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's decision to accept Lamia's offer and enter Grendel's trap (beat_b6b87d41ae639d70) directly enables Grendel to proceed with his plan to create the Romana android duplicate (beat_0a4903b30d4da149). The Doctor's action inadvertently accelerates Grendel's assassination plot."
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.
