Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Adric's earlier interaction with K9 about Romana's memory wafer claim in Episode 18 (cand_evt_scene_2f52411b9e96c12b_1) sets up K9's later critical role in detecting the imminent system collapse in Episode 19 (cand_evt_scene_370a1d9857bd3a61_01). The Doctor's attempt to restore K9 using a memory wafer in Episode 19 is a direct consequence of Adric's questioning in Episode 18."
