Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"K9's tactical elimination of Kro in Episode 3 (cand_evt_scene_e7685eb9d2bbbd30_1) establishes his reliability as a field assistant, which directly enables the Doctor's later decision to dispatch K9 to oversee Romana and Garron's escape in Episode 4 (cand_evt_scene_ce0acccaab05d904_2). This consistency underscores K9's machine-like precision and the Doctor's trust in him."
