Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's deputization in 'The O.K. Corral' is directly mirrored when he is 'taken prisoner' and forced into compliance by Edal in 'The Savages Episode 2'. In both cases, the Doctor is unwillingly drawn into a role he never sought, first as a lawman in Tombstone, then as a captive in the City."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's resistance to compulsory roles (lawman, prisoner) is a recurring motif. His deputization and later captivity demonstrate external forces compelling him to engage with violent systems, reinforcing his role as a reluctant actor forced into confrontations beyond his pacifist nature.
