Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

"Bruce's forced oversight of a life-or-death mission (disabling Kent's trap) escalates into Arnold/Lane's voluntary hazardous mission (transporting the TARDIS) in Episode 26, where the stakes are higher (Yeti ambush vs. a mere bomb)."
