Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor and Romana's discovery of Astra in K Block (Episode 21) directly leads to her subsequent capture by the Shadow's forces (Episode 23), as the Shadow's interest in her royal lineage is piqued by her vulnerability."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Astra's rescue or discovery by the Doctor and Romana plants the seed for her later abduction by the Shadow, who seeks to exploit her cosmic significance. This chain of events ('discovery → vulnerability → capture') illustrates how the Marshal's human cruelty (K Block) enables the Shadow's cosmic manipulations.
