How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Romana's survival and the Doctor's discovery of her grave (Episode 2) directly ties into her role in aiding the Doctor's plan in Episode 3, where she helps secure the bunker. The Doctor's emotional investment in her survival fuels his protective and cooperative instincts."
