Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Range's formal greeting of the Doctor in Episode 7 leads directly to Tegan's confrontation with him in Episode 8. The Doctor's initial deflection and Range's polite mask peel back in Episode 8 when Tegan forces open the files, revealing suppressed truths."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
