Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Benik’s anticipation of interrogating Jamie and Victoria (E21) directly leads to the Doctor’s impersonation of Salamander to order their release (E22). The threat of interrogation creates urgency for the Doctor to act."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Jamie’s capture and Benik’s sadistic intent in E21 drive the Doctor’s desperate plan in E22 to free him and Victoria. This escalates the immediacy of the rescue operation.
