Why These Connect

"Adric's brutal capture and dragging by villagers (E15) directly causes the Terileptil Leader to order the Android to locate and hijack the TARDIS (E16), as the boy's presence aboard the ship becomes a live tactical asset."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This is a direct causal link between Adric's physical capture and the Terileptil's strategic decision to commandeer the TARDIS. It shows how Adric—once seen as a vulnerable companion—becomes a high-value target due to his proximity to the ship.
