How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's probing of the Brigadier's amnesiac mind in 1977 (Ep 10) directly motivates his urgent interrogation of the Brigadier in 1983 (Ep 11), seeking to uncover the suppressed memory of the 1977 transmat incident to safeguard the TARDIS and companions."
