Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's chase after the disfigured thief in Episode 5 (who steals Tegan's bag) is recalled in Episode 6 when the May Queen is revealed as a hollow scarecrow. Both scenes involve something concealed (the thief's identity; the May Queen's emptiness) masquerading as something real."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This callback reinforces the theme of hidden truths and the malleability of reality in the story. It also shows the Doctor's consistent drive to uncover deceptions, even when they threaten his plans or companions.
About Callback Connections
