Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Romana's initial kindness and empathy (offering jelly babies) to Seth and Teka in Episode 17 contrasts sharply with her later confrontation about the Anethan deception in Episode 18. This shift reveals her evolving understanding of the Anethans' hidden agenda and her role as an outsider."

The longer arc this connection carries
Romana's transformation from a comforting presence to a demanding interrogator drives the conflict about the tribute system and Anethan self-deception. This continuity underscores the external pressure on Seth and Teka to confront their lies.
