Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Duggan’s instinct to assert solitary control over a situation: in Episode 38 he dismisses Ryan’s offer of help (‘Go and shove off, Leo’) and insists on handling the Bernalium alone; in Episode 5 he orchestrates the removal of the Doctor and Romana from the Louvre using a covert signal with Catherine, taking command without explanation."
