How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Victoria's trance-like state and the Doctor's recognition of Padmasambhava's hypnotic influence in Episode 9 (cand_evt_scene_1d6a2fe4389f8cf6_01) directly lead to the Doctor's instruction in Episode 10 (cand_evt_scene_c842ab7e8babd894_02) for Thomni to teach Victoria the 'Jewel of the Lotus' prayer as a countermeasure."
