Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The High Council's condemnation of the Doctor in Episode 2 ('High Council condemns the Doctor to die') directly causes the Castellan's manhunt in Episode 3 ('The Castellan, now certain of a conspiracy, directs his forces...'). The institutional verdict justifies extreme measures."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection traces the institutional verdict's consequences across episodes. The Council's condemnation in Episode 2 leads directly to the Castellan's conspiracy theorizing and authoritarian crackdown in Episode 3, which Nyssa must navigate.
