Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's interrogation of the Cleaners' purpose in Episode 6 (while fleeing) parallels the Cleaners' forced sacrifice of Tabby and Tilda in Episode 7, both highlighting the Cleaners' relentless and incomprehensible violence."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both scenes foreground the Cleaners' mechanical brutality, but where the Doctor attempts to reason with them (albeit in desperation), the Cleaners in Episode 7 act purely on their programming, dragging victims to the Basement. This escalation underscores the Cleaners' role as enforcers of 'structural purity.'
