Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Marshal's order for K Block lockdown (Episode 21) logically leads to the Doctor and Romana being trapped in K Block ruins in Episode 22, where they encounter Merak and where their survival drives the plot forward."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Marshal’s immediate lockdown (as a response to perceived exposure) precedes the entire sequence of events in Episode 22 where the Doctor and Romana are hiding and navigating ruins. The Doctor’s confrontation with Merak about Astra's disappearance would not exist without the prior lockdown.
