Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s successful containment of the skull in the lead-lined box (Beat_98f11927c7b33764) allows him to immediately realize the scanner has been switched off and warn Leela of the three-minute deadline (Beat_f3ec075a1119ff13), directly advancing the crisis."
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.
