Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tegana's deceptive and threatening behavior in Episode 17 ('With a stake through the heart') is mirrored by his veiled threats and manipulative presence in Episode 18 ('make no move against me'). Both acts underscore the theme of deception and the precarious position of the Doctor and his companions as they navigate threats from within Marco Polo's caravan."
