Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor snatching Vivien’s pendant during the climax (beat_12e6507affbd48b7) is the instrument that allows him to send the Megara home, precipitating the immediate departure of the Doctor, Romana, and K9 in the TARDIS (beat_36b25403823c220c). This is a direct causal chain from object acquisition to escape."
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.
