Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Doctor's final insult to Shaw in Episode 22 ('I wish I could say the same for you') echoes in Episode 23 when he again warns her not to release Stahlman, only for her to dismiss him ('I see no Stahlman here')."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries
