Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate

Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Gharman's news of Davros's capitulation (Act 1) leads to the Doctor removing explosives, which Davros later exploits in his ruthless purge of the Elite (Act 2), demonstrating Davros's manipulation of perceived weakness."

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.
