Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Mace’s hardened cynicism and black humor after failure in E15 (e.g., 'the gentleman who built this wall knew his trade too well') is echoed in E16 by his dry humor about the TARDIS ('Where the heck is Heathrow?') and his pragmatic approach during imprisonment."
