Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Stor’s articulation of Sontaran total domination ('Victory over all') in Episode 25 escalates to his defiant reactivation in Episode 26, vowing to settle their duel on his terms. This intensifies the Sontaran’s fanatical drive and narrows options for the Doctor."
