Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In the previous episode, K9 was missing during the Zeos countdown crisis, forcing the Doctor and Drax to act without him. In the new episode, K9 is again separated from the Doctor, and Romana must leave to find him in order to free the trapped Doctor."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection establishes a recurring pattern of K9 being unavailable when the Doctor needs him most, creating narrative tension. It also highlights how the Doctor's companions (Drax, then Romana) must compensate for K9's absence, reinforcing the theme of teamwork and reliance on different resources across episodes.
