How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
K9’s continuity as a loyal machine who follows orders despite damage reports (Episode 19) is directly reflected in his physical handoff from the Doctor to Romana in Episode 20. This underscores K9’s character arc as a servant who survives being treated as expendable, yet is valued for utility. His continuity as a companion persists despite being used as a tool.
