Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Sarah Jane's near-sacrifice and the Doctor's rescue (beat_f61ec7dded76f6c6) directly lead to the Doctor's revelation that the Mandragora Helix arrived via the TARDIS (beat_793de55f4f1b3695). This revelation is the catalyst for the alliance with Giuliano and the urgency to destroy the temple."
