Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Habris' formalization of the Selection ritual (Episode 13) establishes his role as an enforcer, which directly enables Zargo's later interrogation of Habris for failing to secure the Doctor and Romana (Episode 14). The institutionalized hierarchy from Episode 13 sets up the power dynamic where Zargo blames Habris for inefficacy."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection highlights the causal chain of institutional cruelty. The same ruthless logic that governs the Selection process in Episode 13 is applied to internal failures in Episode 14, reinforcing Zargo's systemic oppression and Habris' complicity.
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
