Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Sorasta's monitoring of seismicity (Episode 17) parallels her measured responses to the Sarns' refusal to flee (Episode 18), both reflecting her role as an observer of systemic truths versus communal denial."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 17, Sorasta 'reports Malkon's crisis to the Doctor from her position monitoring seism'. In Episode 18, she 'responds with measured efficiency' to the Captain's queries about evacuation. Her position as a data-driven monitor remains consistent, contrasting with the Sarns' religious or emotional responses to crisis.
