Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor and Sarah's realization in E12 that they have been led into a sacrificial trap in the tunnel (a hidden, exploitative system) escalates in E13 when they learn the Exxilons' self-created city is similarly predatory—sustained by draining electrical energy and controlling its people."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection frames both the tunnel predator and the city as manifestations of hidden, exploitative systems that must be resisted. It escalates the stakes from personal peril to the survival of an entire civilization.
