Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Jano's earlier justification of the City's violent practices (framing energy extraction as 'human progress') directly informs his later confrontation with the Doctor, where he defends the same practices despite the Doctor's moral condemnation."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Jano's philosophical justification in Episode 1 ('we have achieved a very great deal merely by the sacrifice of a few savages') foreshadows his rigid refusal to compromise in Episode 2, even when confronted with irrefutable evidence of the system's inhumanity. This continuity highlights Jano's role as the ideological architect of the City's exploitation, unyielding in his belief in progress through sacrifice.
