How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Doctor's instruction for Tegan to distract the Eternals (beat_388081af3cde5cb7) directly causes him to decide to take Tegan back to the TARDIS (beat_c611824b9bc77a56), setting off the chain of events leading to the TARDIS's capture."

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.
