Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The fallout of Terminus’s crisis (the Doctor dealing with unregulated power and liberated factions) directly leads to his investigation into a newly discovered power drain (TARDIS system’s vulnerability). The White Guardian’s warning follows the same narrative pattern: unresolved threats resurface in new forms, pushing the Doctor deeper into the mystery."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both episodes feature the Doctor identifying and addressing a systemic power imbalance. The collapse of Terminus’s central control creates a power vacuum that the Doctor must fill, mirroring his immediate need to identify and stop the TARDIS’s power drain—both literal and cosmic.
