The narrative assertion

"The Controller's ambush plan resulting from Jo's betrayal in Episode 2 (cand_evt_scene_13c6831eed309053_01) leads to the fracture of the Doctor's escape plan in Episode 3 (cand_evt_scene_679ebeb7fc345b6e_01), where the Doctor's recapture is directly caused by the Controller's strategic moves."
