How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Robespierre's order to 'Bring him [the Doctor] with you tomorrow' in Episode 40 (cand_evt_scene_37770fef74b82379_04) sets up his subsequent meeting with LeMaitre in Episode 41 (cand_evt_scene_24be8cb431d2cd4d_01), where he reveals the indictment plot and relies on LeMaitre to act against it."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Doctor's challenge in Episode 40 provokes Robespierre to summon him again the next day. This sets up their meeting in Episode 41, where Robespierre's paranoia about a political plot against him drives him to act against perceived threats, particularly against Barrass.
