Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The shock of seeing Spock in Romulan attire and the mission to discover Spock's intentions (beat_b240661a8ea1d800) leads Picard to lament that he may have to inform Sarek that his son may have betrayed the Federation when Riker informs Picard that Sarek's wife is being transported aboard (beat_ec092dd6a32a8a0d)."
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.
