Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Hepesh's dramatic recitation of the Aggedor legend, with its prophecy of a 'stranger' bringing peril, occurs just as the Doctor and Jo are presented to King Peladon. This direct linkage between the prophecy and the Doctor's introduction as a 'stranger' creates immediate tension and frames the Doctor as the potential fulfiller of the curse."
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.
