Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The defeat of the Mara using reflected light in Episode 12 foreshadows the TARDIS crew's arrival in 17th-century England where the Doctor (in Episode 13) identifies another reflection-based phenomenon — the ‘hundred shooting stars’ — as a sign of alien influence."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The motif of reflection and perception — using mirrors to trap the unseen (Mara) and reading celestial signs as omens — carries over as a thematic bridge. It reinforces the idea that indirect evidence and symbolic structures reveal deeper truths.
