Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s revelation that Vivien Fay is Cessair of Diplos (beat_be59728071d080d4) directly motivates him to seize the pendant—identified as the Great Seal of Diplos—during the confrontation in the stone circle (beat_12e6507affbd48b7). The unmasking of her identity is the trigger for the Doctor’s final maneuver."

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.
