Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's ongoing trial in his own time frames his actions on the planet as both urgent and morally fraught. His defense of his actions on Ravalox (and his claim of averting catastrophe) mirrors his direct confrontation with Drathro, where he argues for the value of organic life and the need to shut down the black light system to save lives."
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.
