Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The TARDIS's forced arrival on Chloris via the malfunctioning transceiver (in Episode 9) directly causes Romana's desperate attempt to save the Doctor from the pit (in Episode 10). The Doctor's perilous state in the pit is a direct result of their initial arrival."
