Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The tunnel's dual role— as a plot device that reveals Morgaine's presence and then traps the Doctor—drives the episodic arc from discovery to rescue/return, merging cause and consequence across episodes.
