Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Episode 2 establishes Romana's observational role and K9's alertness ('Doctor assigns Romana watch duty before infiltration'); Episode 22 sees Romana's urgency to save the Doctor ('Romana arrives too late as Doctor vanishes') and K9's desperate warnings ('K9 collapses as Doctor rushes to save him')."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Thematic continuity around Romana and K9 as the Doctor's 'unseen eyes' is mirrored in both episodes: Romana's observation evolves into frantic search, while K9's precision shifts from subdued sensor warnings to mechanical collapse. This reflects the cost of the Doctor's detached mission approach.
