Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Herbert Wells's moment of resolve in letting go to save the Doctor ('Timelash Part 2') is mirrored by Peri's reluctant killing of the mutant ('Revelation of the Daleks Part 1'). Both characters make agonizing choices that break their moral comfort, demonstrating leadership under pressure."

The longer arc this connection carries
