Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The revelation that Sir William des Preaux impersonated Richard (Episode 22) parallels the later use of impersonation and propaganda in Episode 23, where identity and perception become tools of political strategy."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 22, the betrayal of trust—where a knight pretends to be the king—exposes unexpected heroism. In Episode 23, that subversion of identity is echoed in the Doctor’s plan to frame Sir William’s capture as propaganda, turning deception into a strategic asset. Both episodes use identity as a malleable narrative element.
