How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s test of identity under Nero in Episode 13 (using the lyre and deflecting Nero’s demands) sharpens his improvisational skills, which he later deploys in Episode 14 to disarm Nero’s rage in the baths."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
