Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Attendant's role in serving a poisoned drink to a 'rival' (Barbara) foreshadows his later role in serving Auton interests by turning off the lights, enabling the 'sleeping' wax figures to activate and attack."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The pattern of the Attendant creating conditions for an ambush—by serving a lethal goblet in Nero's court, then by darkening the display room in Tussauds—foreshadows his function as a facilitator of violence. The earlier act of indirect assassination via poisoned drink prefigures the later act of indirect assault via light deprivation and Auton activation.
