Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Eelek’s coup against Selris (Episode 21) escalates into a full-scale breakdown of Gond unity by Episode 22, where militants openly betray the Doctor and Gonds turn on each other (e.g., Axus kills a fellow Gond)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Eelek’s seizure of power in Episode 21 leads directly to the fracturing of Gond unity in Episode 22, as he arrests Selris and disregards collective survival. This escalation culminates in Vana’s failed attempt to warn the Doctor, showing the complete breakdown of trust.
