Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor and Zoe’s exposure and forced flight in Part 4 (culminating in Zoe being dressed as a student forced into the lecture hall) leads directly to Zoe’s capture by Carstairs in Part 5, as the War Lords’ system hunts down the intruders using their traits and knowledge."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The disruption caused by the Doctor’s sabotage and the duo’s exposure in the lecture hall creates a ripple effect: the War Lords redouble their efforts against any resistance. Zoe’s identity as a companion of the Doctor and her possession of temporal knowledge make her a high-value target. This escalates from infiltration (Part 4) to active pursuit (Part 5), showing the enemy adapting and targeting Zoe specifically.
