Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Edal ordering Exorse to find Steven and Dodo to come to the City (beat_c65b0a55f12ad01c) directly sets up their arrival at the city (beat_3bc8eeb943b3bfb4) and the Doctor entering the city."
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.
