Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s revelation to Shapp in Part 3 that the war is a construct of the Shadow (source) sets up Romana’s corroboration in Part 4 that the war is a staged game for an unseen watcher (target), deepening Shapp’s cognitive and moral transformation."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The naming of the Shadow in Part 3 creates the narrative foundation for its expansion in Part 4. Shapp, now aware of deception, begins to shift from loyal adjutant to reluctant ally, carrying forward the Doctor’s earlier revelation as lived truth.
