Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s false claim of loyalty to King George II in the gaol ( Episode 16 ) is mirrored when Polly and Kirsty disguise themselves as orange sellers in the Sea Eagle Inn ( Episode 17 ), reflecting a similar deceptive strategy to infiltrate and gather information."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both episodes feature characters using disguises and role-playing to mislead authority figures ( Doctor vs. Trask; Polly/Kirsty vs. Ffinch ). This callback emphasizes the theme that deception is a necessary survival tool in an oppressive regime.
