Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both episodes explore themes of entropy under duress: the propaganda’s hollow promise of peace under siege in Episode 21, and the collapsing infrastructure of K Block alongside the Doctor’s waning trust in his own tools in Episode 22."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Episode 21's propaganda contrasts with grim realities. Episode 22 literalizes this entropy as the Doctor’s reliance on K9—and even his own judgment—fails under extreme stress. The thematic core (the breakdown of systems under war) ties both scenes together.
