The narrative assertion
"The Doctor and Vicki discovering their control collars are defunct (beat_e085efb5f834c0c8) directly enables the Doctor to conceive of using his ring to control a Zarbi (beat_2670830a69ec6841), setting up their escape plan. The defect is a prerequisite."
About Causal Connections
