Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's investigation into the mystery of zero radiation on Dulkis (Event 1) is echoed in his feigning of stupidity under Dominator torture by exploiting 'apparent simplicity' (Event 2), a tactic rooted in his earlier curiosity about perception and deception."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's earlier focus on how appearances can be deceiving (e.g., "I wonder why there's no radiation?") directly informs his strategy in Episode 2, where he manipulates the Dominators' perceptions by appearing unintelligent. Both events hinge on the theme of hidden truths.
