Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor exposing Zaroff's fish-people labor scheme in E20 ('convert them to fish people') parallels the Doctor's strategic use of the fish people in E21 ('slaves, like worms, can be made to turn'). Both events explore the theme of exploitation and rebellion in illicit societies."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's revelation of Zaroff's atrocities in E20 (cand_evt_scene_2e6e9c0bda49a0bf_01) thematically parallels his strategic manipulation of the fish people's rebellion in E21 (cand_evt_scene_7f7561619630369c_01). This reflects the Doctor's evolving role from expositor to tactician.
