Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Katryca's seizure of Drathro's castle in Episode 3 (based on false information) escalates the power struggle on Ravalox, directly setting the stage for the Doctor's confrontational resolve to enter Drathro's fortress in Episode 4."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Katryca's actions in Episode 3 create a volatile climate of shifting alliances and authority, which the Doctor must navigate in Episode 4. This escalation forces the Doctor to abandon caution and confront Drathro directly, raising the stakes for both characters.
