How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor reveals the paradox of the Toymaker's immortality and the cost of victory (Episode 33) escalates the stakes of his companions' adventures. In Episode 34, his companions' impulsive adoption of Wild West personas escalates the danger when they unwittingly provoke the Clanton gang."
