Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The destruction of Meg's cottage and her death in Part 3 (Event 3.9) directly causes the failed UNIT assault in Part 4 (Event 4.10), as the Brigadier's desperation to stop the Autons leads to a conventional assault that fails catastrophically."
