Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's revelation in Episode 11 that Vivien Fay is the Cailleach and has captured Romana directly sets up the crisis that forces Emilia and K9 to repair the hyperspace generator in Episode 12. The need to rescue Romana escalates the urgency and gives Emilia a critical mission."
