Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Dent's escalation from threatening Jo's life with explosives (E17) to the Primitives abducting her (E18) intensifies the stakes: from physical detention to life-or-death abduction."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The IMC's direct threat (cand_evt_scene_4a48574835433229_02) escalates into a more complex, culturally alien threat (Primitive abduction) in Episode 18 (cand_evt_scene_c5d3f6dd8190c9f6_01), raising the stakes and forcing the Doctor into unfamiliar territory.
About Escalation Connections
