Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The unlocking of Zeos systems by K9 in Part 3 (via ritual, science, and programming) directly leads to the Doctor’s mechanical act of disabling Mentalis in Part 4. This escalation—from access to destruction—drives the narrative toward the 'Armageddon Factor'.
