Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's probing of Ping-Cho's background and status as a 'daughter of a high government official working as a servant' (Episode 14) parallels Susan's manipulation of Ping-Cho's loyalty by questioning her fear of Tegana (Episode 15). Both scenes explore the theme of power dynamics and unequal status."
