Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's decision to dispatch K9 to infiltrate Grendel's castle in Episode 14 results in K9's discovery of Romana's location, which directly enables the Doctor's verification of her captivity in Episode 15's King's Chambers beat."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's dual-pronged delegation to K9 (beat f69516ea2c5751ce_1) and localization of Grendel's stronghold (implied) provides the intelligence that K9 acts upon, leading to the discovery of Romana's presence. This intelligence is crucial for the Doctor's later actions in Episode 15.
