Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Ian's deception of Yartek with the fake key in 'The Keys of Marinus' leads directly to his later cautious approach to authority and trust in 'The Temple of Evil'. His experience being manipulated by Yartek makes him more skeptical of blindly accepting authority, as seen when the Doctor scolds Barbara for her reckless intervention."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Ian's role as a protector and problem-solver evolves from the Marinus arc, where he uses deception to outmaneuver a villain, to the Aztec temple, where he becomes more cautious and questioning of authority figures like Tlotoxl, showing a continuity in his character's growth around trust and deception.
