Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The villagers’ hostility in Episode 13 (due to plague fears) parallels the android’s mechanical hostility in Episode 14, both functioning as faceless, dangerous forces acting on behalf of unseen alien entities. Both scenarios force the TARDIS crew to flee for survival."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries

Adric’s repeated encounters with these threats (villagers, android) highlight his evolving perception of danger beyond TARDIS confines.
