From
Dortmun’s Final Stand and the Bomb’s Failure
S2E6 · Day of Reckoning
To
Susan and David abandon the Doctor
S2E7 · The End of Tomorrow

Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Dortmun's death and failure (Episode 6) directly precedes the group's fracturing decisions in Episode 7. The loss of leadership and failed resistance efforts create the conditions where characters must make impossible choices."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Dortmun's tragic moment is the climax of Episode 6's resistance storyline. The emotional weight of his failure carries into Episode 7, where characters face similar impossible dilemmas (abandoning the Doctor). This forms a cohesive narrative arc spanning both episodes.
