Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Romana's survival and revelation of her Gallifreyan trick (faking death) in Episode 2 establishes her resilience and ingenuity. This foreshadows her continued role as a key ally for the Doctor in Episode 3, where she remains by his side despite dire circumstances."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Romana's survival and her bonding moment with the Doctor ('responds with striking warmth') in Episode 2 directly carries into Episode 3, where she is present during the confrontation with Davros. Her resilience reinforces the Doctor's moral and tactical support network.
