How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The rulers' debate over Adric in Episode 14 ('disrupting lineage purity') escalates in Episode 15 into a direct strategic split between the Doctor and Romana, with Adric's plight serving as a focal point for their tactical divergence. The tension over Adric's fate intensifies from moral debate to life-or-death stakes."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The moral and political conflict over Adric's fate in Episode 14 (Zargo vs. Camilla/Aukon) escalates into the Doctor and Romana's split in Episode 15, where Adric's capture forces divergent strategies to save him and confront the Great One's power. This tracks an escalation in both stakes and team dynamics.
