Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s presence in Episode 5 (exposing Zanak’s lies) escalates the conflict in Episode 6, where Zanak directly orders the Doctor’s capture after Romana’s technical competence is revealed."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s initial investigation in Episode 5 (e.g., Pralix’s condition) puts him on Zanak’s radar, leading to his direct confrontation and capture attempt by Zanak in Episode 6. This escalation deepens the conflict across episode boundaries.
