Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Slaar's confirmation of the Martian invasion plan in Ep. 27 is directly escalated by the Doctor's sabotage of the Martian fleet in Ep. 28, confirming the Doctor's earlier suspicions and leading to the fleet's fatal orbit around the sun."
