Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor back collides with Poppaea in Episode 14 (disguised as Maximus) leads directly to the need for evasion in Episode 15, where his presence as Maximus causes the Doctor and Vicki to almost be caught by guards."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s close encounter with Poppaea due to his guise as Maximus in Episode 14 contributes to his detection risk in Episode 15, where guards patrol under orders from Sevcheria—showing continuity in danger stemming from false identity.
