Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor and Peri’s close call with the Master in Episode 17 (Peri’s resistance and the Doctor’s examination of energy residue) escalates to Peri’s life-threatening entrapment in Episode 18, raising the stakes for their survival."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The danger Peri faces in Episode 17 (captured by the Master) directly escalates to her near-death peril in Episode 18 (trapped by a rock slide), forcing the Doctor to adapt from healer to rescuer and raising narrative tension.
