How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Peri's initial resistance and unfamiliarity with the Doctor and their surroundings in Episode 1 (ravaged Ravalox) foreshadows her strained relationship with authority figures, which escalates into direct conflict with Katryca in Episode 3."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection tracks Peri's growing defiance and her need to navigate oppressive power structures. In Episode 1, her frustration with the Doctor mirrors her later defiance of Glitz and her silent resistance during Katryca’s interrogation. Her early discomfort with authority sets up her emerging agency in Episode 3.
