Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Varl’s refusal to carry civilian Arana in Episode 7 (cand_evt_scene_4f4327e5a1ae9b54_4) is mirrored by his prompt obedience to Sontaran orders in Episode 8, where he exits with Stike’s contingent upon receiving orders (cand_evt_scene_2b73e84fb2a50ab3_1)."
