Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Master’s literal and psychological seizure of Angela (cand_evt_scene_d9925580f7dfaebc_1) in Episode 25 parallels the Doctor’s recognition in Episode 26 that the Master’s fusion with Xeraphin makes direct confrontation futile without abandonment of subtlety (cand_evt_scene_da0c0f6d7ce3a23c_01), both scenes exploring the theme of domination through mental or temporal power."
