Causal strong strength

Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Doctor’s inquiry about the President’s symbols (Sash and Great Key) leads directly to Engin playing the historical transgram about Rassilon and the Eye of Harmony. This information is critical—it provides the Doctor with the knowledge needed to understand and later thwart the Master’s plan."

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.
