Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Carstairs' initial hesitance and reluctant alliance with the Doctor's group in Part 2 (implied by his dialogue with Buckingham) mirrors his internal conflict in Part 7 when he resists Jamie’s plea to save the Doctor but ultimately intervenes. Both moments show Carstairs torn between duty and defiance."
