Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The flickering lights in the operating room in Episode 20 (Part 2), caused by the Doctor's sabotage, foreshadows Zaroff's broader vulnerability—his dependence on systems that can be disrupted, which the Doctor exploits in Episode 21 (Part 3) by planning to starve the regime."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The power interruption in Episode 20 is a microcosm of the Doctor's later insight: Zaroff's systems are fragile. This foreshadows the fish people strike in Episode 21, which targets another critical system—food supply—further destabilizing Zaroff's power.
