Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Jamie’s exposure of the Krotons' predatory motive ('why have you been killing the Gonds?') in Part 3 escalates into the Krotons’ mechanical confirmation that their very survival depends on harvesting 'high brains,' leading to the urgent demand for the Doctor and Zoe in Part 4."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This escalation transforms the Krotons from aloof teachers into predatory oppressors, and it directly leads to their final demand for surrender. The revelation that they need organic minds to operate their escape returns agency to the Doctor and Zoe, culminating the arc.
