Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's first encounter with Bok in Episode 22 (as a stone gargoyle looming over him) directly enables his confrontation with Bok in Episode 23, where he neutralizes it using scientific and mystical methods (iron trowel and Venusian lullaby)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries Bok's initial introduction in Episode 22 as an immediate supernatural threat into Episode 23, where his nature and weaknesses are explored in depth. The progression from discovery to confrontation is logically causal, reinforcing Bok's role as the Master's enforcer.
