Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both Terminus and Enlightenment hinge on the misuse and manipulation of power: in Terminus, the Company abuses power to control others via Lazar disease; in Enlightenment, the Black Guardian tries to manipulate the Doctor and reality itself through energy/power theft. The Doctor’s quest to thwart this misuse is a thematic throughline."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The thematic parallel elevates the series’ exploration of power dynamics. Terminus’ corruption mirrors Enlightenment’s cosmic stakes, with the Doctor positioned as the guardian against such abuses. This reinforces his role as a moral compass across episodes.
