Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's use of aggressive, manipulative tactics (e.g., jamming a door with a fallen Dalek) to buy time in Episode 21 escalates into his even more reckless abandonment of Steven in a murderous, sectarian Paris in Episode 22."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This escalation in risk-taking and disregard for consequence shows the Doctor's crisis of judgment deepening. His tactical creativity in Episode 21 mutates into emotional and moral recklessness in Episode 22, marking a character trajectory from strategic pragmatism to self-destructive obsession.
