Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The fragile coalition's failed rebellion in Episode 2 (with Broken Tooth quashing Glitz and Peri's plotting) directly escalates Katryca's militarization in Episode 3, where she abandons caution and orders immediate mobilization after the Doctor escapes."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Her suppression of dissent in Episode 2 emboldens her to escalate conflict in Episode 3, pivoting from containment to violence. The failure of the rebels galvanizes Katryca's resolve to command her forces aggressively, linking her earlier assertion of power to her later command over armed villagers.
