Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The catastrophic urgency of Omega’s anti-matter transfer in 'Arc of Infinity' directly mirrors the existential threat posed by the reactivated Death Zone in 'The Five Doctors,' compelling Borusa to make similarly desperate choices in both crises."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The high-stakes scenarios and time-sensitive crises in both episodes force Borusa into positions where he must sacrifice individuals or ethical principles to preserve Gallifrey, creating a causal link between his actions in saving the planet from Omega and from the Death Zone.
