Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Leela’s discovery of the immobilized TARDIS scanner (Ep 21) parallels the Doctor’s later ritual command to 'bow to the Sash of Rassilon' (Ep 22)—both are manipulations of Gallifreyan systems to control access and perception."
