"The Doctor’s urgency to escape (Episode 15) parallels his immediate rush to pursue Romana (Episode 16), driven by the same instinct to disrupt Grendel’s plans."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Kurster’s mention in Episode 16 as Romana’s captor ('Romana followed Kurster to the dungeons') retroactively explains his presence in both escape attempts. The Doctor’s relentless pursuit of justice vs. Kurster’s blind loyalty creates a thematic parallel.
