Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Steven's infiltration of the Greek camp in Episode 6 (which leads to his ambush by Odysseus) creates the urgency and motivation for his later attempt to send a warning to Odysseus in Episode 8. The earlier encounter frames the stakes and Steven's ongoing resistance to the Doctor's plans."
