How these two moments in the story relate

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Adric's reckless decision to find the Doctor and Romana makes him physically present in the tavern where Aukon detects his alien nature. This causal chain establishes Adric as a catalyst for the rulers' decisions and his own entrapment.
