Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"K9's refutation of the Doctor's mythic musings (Episode 20) sets up his later reluctance to question the Doctor's orders or engage in philosophical debate, as seen when he obeys the command to silence Leela (Episode 21)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
K9's role as the Doctor's unquestioning enforcer is established in Episode 20 and solidified in Episode 21, demonstrating his rigid adherence to his programming, regardless of the moral weight of the Doctor's actions.
