Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s halting of the Sandminer by cutting zeta links (Episode 19) causes the systemic chaos that leads to the robot rebellion being exposed and Dask (Capel) ordering lethal attacks on the Doctor and Leela (Episode 20)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s emergency actions in Episode 19 destabilize the environment and inadvertently trigger Capel’s rebellion. This sets the stage for Dask’s escalation to overt violence against the Doctor and Leela, linking the initial crisis to the final confrontation.
