Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Krotons' increasingly aggressive detection and testing of the Doctor in Episode 20 (Event 01) escalates from their initial passive selection of companions in Episode 19 (Event 03). The Doctor's questioning triggers a direct, violent reaction from the Krotons."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The escalation from ideological resistance (Thara's protests) to technological aggression (probe attack) reflects the rising stakes and direct conflict between the Doctor and the Krotons across episodes.
