Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Scorby's report of the Doctor's capture (Episode 24) enables the Doctor's absence during the Krynoid's rampage in the greenhouse (Episode 25), shifting tactical control to Scorby and amplifying the crisis."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's containment directly influences Scorby's leadership in Episode 25, where his pragmatism turns oppressive. Hargreaves' continuity as a bystander to Scorby's commands reinforces the theme of systemic violence replacing care under Chase's influence.
