Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both episodes feature the Doctor confronting a barrier (physical pentagonal barrier in Episode 11, symbolic pentagonal boss in Episode 12). In Episode 11, the barrier represents perceived danger and Adrasta’s control. In Episode 12, removing the barrier to expose truth (Erato’s voice) represents liberation from lies."
