Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Stael and Moss's interception of the Doctor in the Priory corridors (Part 2) leads to his continued surveillance and eventual confrontation during Stael's ritual (Part 3), where their earlier caution becomes a coordinated plan to control the environment."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Stael and Moss’s stealthy interception in Part 2 establishes their antagonistic presence and sets up their later command over the ritual space in Part 3. Their early surveillance of the Doctor’s movements becomes actionable intelligence in the chapel, where they isolate and execute their plan—directly enabling the ritual.
