Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The use of a mirror to shatter the Doctor’s delusion in Episode 23 is recalled when Peri, now the voice of restraint in Episode 24, challenges his reckless gamble with the rhetorical mirror: 'If you didn't believe him, what are we doing here?'"

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This callback deepens character continuity. Peri, who once forced the Doctor to face his own reflection, now mirrors his self-delusion back to him, fulfilling her role as the moral compass he can no longer trust himself to embody.
