Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Nyssa's risky voluntary approach to the Xeraphin's sarcophagus in Part 3 (despite the Doctor's warnings) sets up her emotional and psychological state in Part 4, where she, along with the Doctor, must assess the aftermath of the Master's fusion with the Xeraphin's power. Her lingering commitment to risky transcendence colors her reaction to the crisis."
