Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's initial mental resistance to the Nucleus infection in Titan Base (Episode 6) escalates into a physical breakdown of his body as the virus tightens its control in the Isolation Ward (Episode 7). This shows the progression from mental to physical subjugation, intensifying the threat."
