Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's impatience with Bret Vyon in Episode 14 ('Oh, he's an irritating man') is indirectly echoed in Episode 21 when Steven lists Bret's name ('Bret, Katarina, Sara') among the fallen companions, suggesting Bret's unresolved role in the narrative despite his death."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Bret Vyon's character is referenced indirectly in both episodes, first as a point of contention between the Doctor and Steven (Episode 14) and later as a posthumous memorial by Steven (Episode 21). The Doctor's dismissive attitude in Episode 14 contrasts with Steven's retrospective respect in Episode 21.
About Callback Connections
B explicitly references A. A later moment deliberately echoes an earlier one, creating a sense of narrative completeness and rewarding memory.
