Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Adric’s observation of the Melkur statue’s unsettling gaze (Episode 21) is echoed when Melkur directly taunts the Doctor inside the statue’s chamber (Episode 22), emphasizing his lingering presence and growing power."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The statue's lifelike and following gaze, initially disturbing to Adric, becomes the vessel for Melkur’s malicious entity. This callback reinforces the statue’s malevolent agency and provides a continuous thread of unease around this artifact across episodes.
