Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's deflection of Romana's questions about rivals in Part 2 (foreshadowing her questioning mind) directly enables his later interrogation of Garron in Part 3 where Romana's clinical questioning becomes part of their teamwork against Garron's schemes."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's evasiveness about threats in Episode 2 creates narrative space for Romana to develop her own observational and interrogation skills by Episode 3. This causally links their evolving dynamic from playful friction to functional partnership.
About Causal Connections
