Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Jamie and Zoe's skepticism about the Doctor's reassurances about Dulkis (that it's peaceful) directly leads into their later capture and interrogation by the Dominators, where they face real, immediate danger rather than just debate radioactive readings."
