Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor and Nyssa splitting their efforts at the beginning of the investigation sets up the Doctor’s parallel attempt to engage Director Ambril, which then leads to their confrontation about the ceremonial helmet in the Director’s Room—a key moment of philosophical revelation about the Mara's deception."
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.
