Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s moral descent and ruthless pragmatism in threatening Peri (E6) escalates into the Valeyard’s direct accusation of the Doctor’s corruption, heightening the narrative tension in E7."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s actions in E6 (cand_evt_scene_e40b00b5f5f8b8f8_1) set up the Valeyard’s characterization of the Doctor as a 'toady, coward, turncoat' in E7 (cand_evt_scene_943c5eb2fb9968aa_03), pushing the story into moral and psychological escalation.
