How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Barbara's disappearance (beat_8ce548948d59f0be) directly leads the Doctor, Ian, and Susan to the room where they find her, initiating the exploration of Morphoton (beat_1a2a2f21b99a4978)."

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.
