Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The discovery of a hidden plot in Episode 20 (Tegana’s assassination plan) escalates into the discovery of a hidden, deadly environment in Episode 21 (the acid sea and Voord threat). Both episodes feature the companions deducing threats and acting to survive."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The companions’ ability to piece together Tegana’s plot in Peking (Episode 20) mirrors their quick deduction of the acid sea’s danger in Marinus (Episode 21). This escalation of stakes—from political intrigue to environmental peril—highlights their adaptability and resourcefulness as a team.
