Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Gavrok's brutal assault in Episode 10 (cand_evt_scene_e4c735ec275cb1b7_1) directly causes the Doctor's need to disarm the TARDIS booby-trap in Episode 11. The Doctor's preemptive action to stop Hawk (cand_evt_scene_dd905777a88c7f1e_01) is a direct response to Gavrok's earlier aggression, creating a throughline of escalating threat and defense."
