Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's resistance to Arbitan's blackmail in Episode 21 ('If you think I'm going to travel across that acid sea in one of these primitive submersibles, you're very much mistaken') carries over to his skeptical nature in Episode 22, where he questions Altos's motives."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s reluctance to comply with external demands (Arbitan’s blackmail, Altos’s hospitality) persists across episodes, highlighting his consistent trait of skepticism and independence despite his companions’ susceptibility to illusion.
