Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's moral struggle over using the Demat gun—a weapon that erases someone from existence—parallels his vision of past enemies (including the Sontaran) during the antenna fall. Both scenes force the Doctor to confront the ethical weight of his actions and the enemies he has destroyed."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Sontaran Soldier's eradication by the Demat gun in Episode 26 makes him a direct example of the Doctor's capacity for lethal force. His reappearance as a specter in Episode 28 forces the Doctor to reckon with that choice, completing the soldier's arc from living target to moral indictment.
