Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The code zero emergency call interrupts the lighthearted mood at the station and Catherine's plans with Shafiq and Twiggy. That sets Catherine scrambling to the scene, which shifts the story from the station to the crime scene."

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.
