How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s warning to the group in the cave—'we're the flies in a jar of very nasty ointment'—is recalled in his decision to send Sarah to prepare the Earth ship. He recognizes the need for external allies (the Earth crew) and strategically removes Sarah from immediate danger to act as a bridge."
