The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's decision to return to Captain Hart to warn him about the danger (beat_274cd82fe54ac3d0) leads directly to the discovery of Trenchard's body at the castle (beat_4bb06245cb9f34f7), proving the Doctor's warnings accurate and forcing Hart to accept the reality of the threat."
