How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Jailer's incapacitation in Episode 39 (due to drunkenness/injury) echoes his passivity in Episode 40 where he is still in a 'drunken stupor,' dismissive and ineffective when dealing with the Doctor and LeMaitre."
