Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Jamie's willingness to 'get them down here with us' in Episode 5 (where the 'them' is the Dominators) foreshadows his later encounter with a faceless, erased version of himself in Episode 7. The Doctor's restoration of Jamie in Episode 7 mirrors the Doctor's role as Jamie's protector during the Dominators' siege, reinforcing their bond."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Themes of erasure and restoration connect these events: Episode 5 shows Jamie's physical fight against erasure (Dominators drilling toward destruction), while Episode 7 literalizes this with Jamie's cardboard cutout form. The Doctor's role as solver in both episodes strengthens this link.
