How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's habit of sending K9 on critical missions (e.g., overseeing Romana and Garron's escape in E4) reflects his ongoing reliance on K9's precision and obedience, which continues in E5 where K9 is again tasked with unified operational control (assessing the Time Key fragment)."
