Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's deceptive victory over Graff (outwitting him with the fake jethrik) parallels Zanak's violent reaction to K9's appearance on his viewscreen. Both moments feature authority figures losing control when faced with an uncanny, cybernetic threat."
