Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Drathro's naming of the Doctor as heir in Episode 3 parallels his brutal suppression of Katryca and Broken Tooth's rebellion in Episode 4. Both moments reflect Drathro's utilitarian approach to power: replacing presumed failures (his assistants) or suppressing challengers (the rebels)."
