Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor directs Susan into the overflow pipe. Smithers plugs the drain, halting the water flow. They are safe but further water could flood the pipe. Later, Susan and the Doctor emerge from the plug hole, surprising Barbara and Ian after their ordeal in the pipes."
