Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s eventual moment of consolation with Sabetha over Arbitan’s death explicitly references the earlier dark event—Arbitan’s assassination—propelled by the same conflict: the fight over the Keys of Marinus."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection completes a narrative arc: the assassination of Arbitan, triggered by the conflict over the keys, is emotionally revisited in the final scene where the Doctor helps Sabetha process her loss, reaffirming the moral legacy her father left behind.
