Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Mel's capture by Tetraps (beat_1c67d1031cebd758) directly triggers the Rani's leverage and later the Doctor's return to the headquarters to negotiate for her freedom (beat_79ed9b9517bff3d2). This escalates the stakes and forces the Doctor's hand."
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.
