Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Doctor’s strategic use of the War Chief as a 'bargaining chip' in E43 directly informs his later defensiveness when the Time Lords attempt to separate him from Jamie and Zoe. His protectiveness over his companions reflects a shift from manipulation to paternal protection."
