Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tegana's accusation that the travelers are using 'lies and deceit' to divide Polo from his allies (Episode 17) is echoed in Episode 18 when Polo explicitly interrogates the Doctor and companions about their intentions, accusing them of deceit."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Tegana's manipulation tactics become internalized by Polo, who justifies his distrust through direct confrontation. This shows how manipulation lingers as a narrative aftereffect.
