Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's capture and imprisonment in the backstage holding area in Episode 12 enables his later confrontations in Episode 13 with Morgana and the Ringmaster, as they track his movements through the circus’s eye symbol. His entrapment in Episode 12 directly leads to his status as a pursued fugitive in Episode 13."
