How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Episode 8, Liz Shaw blackmails the Doctor into taking a diplomatic approach (cand_evt_scene_67f27e99aeb87e11_03). In Episode 9, Liz challenges Dawson's militarism by advocating for the Doctor's peaceful stance (cand_evt_scene_3d6db4f55072d91e_02). Both events highlight Liz's role as a bridge between the Doctor's peace efforts and human militaristic tendencies."
