Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor sensing an external Armada fleet threat (Part 2) escalates to the Doctor's complete capture and the companions' total helplessness (Part 3). The external threat becomes an internal collapse of all resistance."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This escalation shows the Urbankan ship's threat system as both external (Armada) and internalized (conversion cabinets, android enforcers). Adric's interruption with urgent news about Tegan attempting escape becomes the final point of no defense.
