Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor and Izlyr's flight through hidden tunnels in Episode 7 (cand_evt_scene_e3c5ceab71b6f3ba_2) creates the moment of vulnerability exploited in Episode 8 when Hepesh storms the throne room (cand_evt_scene_1070955d5ad1d521_1), as their escape exposes the palace's weaknesses."
