Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Ortron's invocation of Aggedor's vengeance in Episode 15 sets up the creature's direct intervention in Episode 17, where the Doctor must quell Aggedor's rage. The invocation establishes Aggedor as a manipulable tool of political control, which the Doctor later exposes and neutralizes."
