Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Ian's resourcefulness in orchestrating his own escape in Episode 20 directly leads to his continued cautious and proactive approach in Episode 21. His experience with Tegana's treachery reinforces his vigilance about potential threats, as seen in his immediate questioning of the Doctor about radiation levels upon landing on Marinus."
