Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Polly’s vulnerability and need for rescue in Episode 4 (ambushed by David and the Spaniard) parallels her disorientation in Episode 5, where she is immediately surrounded by armed guards upon the TARDIS’s arrival. Both scenes underscore her position as a companion who often requires protection or guidance."
