Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Stike’s earlier revelation that Jamie (the Second Doctor’s companion) is already dead due to the Sontarans’ no-prisoners policy directly informs the events in Episode 9, where the Second Doctor’s transformation is overseen by Chessene and Dastari. This escalates the personal stakes for Stike, who now faces the consequences of his militarized hierarchy’s brutality."
