Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s earlier confrontation with the Kaymakalan prosecutor Eyesen for conspiratorial theft and murder mirrors his confrontation with Aztec priests for divine deception and sacrifice. Both confrontations hinge on exposing false authority figures manipulating society."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s investigative role, exposing false pretenses (Eyesen’s claim to arbitrate truth; Barbara’s claim to divine authority) creates a thematic callback about challenging deceptive authority figures across different historical settings.
