Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"K9's ability to locate Romana in Episode 14 establishes his sensor-based competence as a trust mechanism for the Doctor. This continuity carries into Episode 22, where K9's sensor intelligence again becomes critical for survival (e.g., reporting pursuer movements)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The thread of 'trust through technology' unifies K9's arc: from locating a companion in alien captivity to detecting human threats in a war zone. This evolution from reconnaissance to survival reinforces K9's role as the Doctor's operational anchor.
