Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Master's interrogation of Adric about the Doctor's location and vulnerability in Episode 2 leads directly to Adric's spectral warning to Nyssa in Episode 3. Adric's forced proximity to the Master's schemes establishes his compromised position."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This causal link shows how the Master's psychological pressure on Adric in Episode 2 directly results in Adric's spectral manifestation in Episode 3. The interrogation scene is the immediate antecedent to Adric's warning, completing a manipulative arc across episodes.
