Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's interrogation of Peri on the Rock of Sorrows (Episode 6) emotionally echoes their fractured alliance in Episode 7, where Peri's plea for the Doctor's innocence ('he wasn't always like that') underscores her lingering trauma from his manipulation."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The psychological tension between Doctor and Peri in Episode 6 (Doctor menacing Peri to extract information) resurfaces in Episode 7 as Peri grapples with the aftermath of his betrayals while defending him. This reinforces her crisis of agency and trust across episodes.
