Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's inquiry into the mirror's mechanism (time winds) in the initial scene with Biroc directly precedes his later confrontation with the Tharils over their enslavement and tyranny. This knowledge of the mirror's temporal nature fuels his moral challenge to the Tharils, revealing the consequences of their exploitative empire."
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.
