Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Adrasta's order in Episode 9 to hunt Romana down creates the context for Episode 10, where Adrasta uses the Doctor's peril in the pit as leverage to extract information from Romana. Her prior aggression toward Romana sets the stage for the psychological weaponization of the Doctor's situation."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Adrasta's insistence on capturing Romana in Episode 9 doesn’t end with mere pursuit—it escalates into a manipulative interrogation tactic in Episode 10, demonstrating how her control and cruelty persist across episodes.
