Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s mocking detachment toward Stien (e.g., 'Get on with it. I can do without your pity.') in Episode 13 mirrors his rallying of him in Episode 14: 'I'll take that chance.' The same language of provocation evolves into an offer of salvation."
