Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"K9's role in confirming the lethality of the C-531 antibody (biological containment) parallels the thematic tension in Episode 9 around containment and control—whether it's the Doctor's grip on the TARDIS's sentience or K9's own contested autonomy."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both episodes explore containment as a narrative and thematic concern: in Episode 8, containment of the viral Nucleus; in Episode 9, containment of dangerous technology (sonic time scan) and K9's recalcitrant systems. K9's presence as a 'containment unit' in both heightens the parallel.
