Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The harpooning of Glitz in Episode 13 is mirrored by the Valeyard's use of poison gas and shifting illusions in Episode 14 to psychologically and physically dominate the Doctor."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The earlier act of violence against Glitz (E13) sets the tone for the Valeyard's escalating cruelty (E14), where he uses both brute force (gas) and psychological manipulation (illusions) to break the Doctor's resistance. It establishes a pattern of the Valeyard weaponizing vulnerability.
