Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Doctor's deception of the Gravis in Episode 10 (using the TARDIS as bait) leads directly to the TARDIS being trapped in a Time Corridor at the start of Episode 11. The Gravis's obsession with TARDIS technology appears to have consequences beyond Frontios."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Gravis's failed attempt to claim the TARDIS (through Tegan's capture) triggers the Time Corridor phenomenon that entraps the ship in Episode 11. This suggests the TARDIS's technological integrity was compromised during the events of Episode 10.
