Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Barbara's establishment as Yetaxa in Episode 28 enables Tlotoxl's later attempt to poison her in Episode 29, as he sees her as a direct threat to his power."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Tlotoxl's earlier manipulation ('I tell you she is a false goddess') and the Doctor’s arrest (due to Barbara’s actions) set up Tlotoxl’s new strategy in Episode 29: targeting Barbara through her companions. Barbara’s role as Yetaxa makes her a target, linking the events causally.
