Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"In Episode 22, Benton’s challenge to the Master’s authority is neutralized by disarming, with Percival present as a reluctant accomplice. In Episode 12, the Doctor’s open accusation of conspiracy forces Cross/Governor to shield himself with lies. Both scenes place George Trenchard in the middle of a confrontation between institutional defiance and the Master’s control."
