Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both events involve Sondergaard urging the Doctor to leave him/her behind for a greater cause. In E19, Sondergaard insists the Doctor leave to pursue a cure for Solos' contamination, while in E20, he urges the Doctor to act to stop the Marshal's genocide. Both moments highlight personal sacrifice for systemic change."
