The narrative assertion

"Tremas protecting the Doctor and unmasking Melkur's trail in Episode 22 (cand_evt_scene_3d971d413143ad89_3) enables Nyssa to retrieve the escape device in Tremas' quarters in Episode 23 (cand_evt_scene_f4c15287b1032438_1), creating a direct causal link between these protective actions and the eventual escape."
