Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The White Robots' oppressive control in Episode 9 foreshadows the Doctor's and Jamie's experience with sterile, automated obstruction (International Electromatics' reception system) in Episode 11, showing how the companions face increasingly sophisticated forms of dehumanized opposition."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Zoe and Jamie's flight from the narrative control of the White Robots reflects a broader theme of resisting dehumanized systems. In Episode 11, Zoe's subsequent choice to engage with a corporate environment (Isobel's photography studio) mirrors the Doctor and Jamie's engagement with a hostile corporate system, reinforcing a recurring struggle against external systems that manipulate or control them.
