Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s strategic choice to take Hayter into the sanctum (E25) is echoed when Hayter’s telepathic projection appears and guides the TARDIS in E26, validating the Doctor’s earlier assessment of Hayter’s resilience to mind influence."
