Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The act of forcibly escorting the Doctor, Romana, and Duggan into the drawing room (Beat a9c4ad7e27db041e) directly causes their subsequent imprisonment in the cellar (beat_269b82957056d08b), as the Count decides: 'Lock them in the cellar!' The failed misdirection and Romana's evident cleverness seal their fate — their presence threatens the Count's plan, so he confines them where they can't interfere."
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.
