Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The discovery of the murdered Centurion in Episode 13 mirrors the earlier discovery of Maximus Pettulian's corpse in Episode 12. Both reveal the Doctor as an opportunist surviving through others' identities, and both force Vicki to confront the cost of deception and violence."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The deaths of two figures whose identities were appropriated (Maximus Pettulian and the unnamed Centurion) bookend Episodes 12 and 13, emphasizing the theme of survival through deception and the moral ambiguity of the Doctor’s choices. Vicki’s growing awareness of these consequences ties her character's arc together across episodes.
