Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's leadership in high-stakes crises persists across episodes—the same authoritative decision-making seen in Episode 15 (Leela's peril and guidance against Xoanon) recurs in Episode 19 when he halts the sandminer's descent to save lives."
