Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Both episodes explore the theme of hidden identities and deception. In S14, the Doctor probes Ping-Cho's true status, while in S16, Tegana's dual allegiance (peace emissary by day, warlord by night) is exposed, reinforcing the idea that appearances are deceiving in the Mongol court."
