Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's deduction in Episode 9 that the Tractators are extracting trapped humans rather than hunting them thematically parallels his realization in Episode 10 that the Gravis seeks a 'driver' to steer Frontios, both revealing the Tractators' manipulative and exploitative nature."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events center on the Doctor's growing understanding of the Tractators' true motives—first, as extractors, then as planetary steers. Tegan's role in forcing the Doctor to confront these truths (via her demands and warnings) ties her character to this thematic evolution.
