Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In both episodes, Cassandra identifies someone as a threat (Vicki as a witch in Troy, the Doctor as a potential risk in Skaro) and takes decisive action, though the outcomes differ—accusation leading to public condemnation versus saving then demanding compliance."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Cassandra's pattern of perceiving outsiders as dangerous and acting to neutralize them carries forward. In Troy, she publicly accuses Vicki, while in Skaro, she initially rescues the Doctor but immediately asserts control. This parallel shows an evolution from emotional accusation to calculated coercion, reflecting her growth into a more disciplined military leader.
