Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Lesterson’s obsessive focus on the capsule (E9) creates the context for the Doctor’s later confrontation with him in E10. The Examiner’s arrival (mentioned in E9) sets up the Doctor’s authority over Lesterson in E10, enabling the Doctor’s accusation about hiding a Dalek."
