Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both events involve the Doctor being honored for his perceived expertise: in The OK Corral, he is deputized by Wyatt Earp, while in The Savages, he is elevated to High Elder by Jano. Both honors blind him to the darker realities of the situations (violence vs. exploitation)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The thematic parallel underscores the Doctor's blind optimism, a trait that both aids and hinders his companions across episodes. His acceptance of authority (deputized Sheriff → High Elder) consistently clouds his judgment.
