Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor and Sarah's escape from the Space Defence Centre in Episode 14 creates a gap in SDC coverage and alertness, which Benton reports as missing personnel at the start of Episode 16. This absence enables the android infiltration undetected."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Benton's report of the Doctor and Sarah's disappearance directly results from their escape in Episode 14. This lack of awareness is crucial for the android conspiracy to unfold undetected in Episode 16, linking the two episodes causally.
