Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's flight upward through Panopticon stairs in Episode 25 (physical ascent) directly culminates in the TARDIS's labyrinthine upper levels becoming his fortress in Episode 26, where the stair ascent mythically inverts to spatial entrapment—Stor trapped inside the same vessel he pursued."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The pursuit pattern elevates from political spaces (Panopticon) to personal spaces (TARDIS), reversing power dynamics: Stor's chase becomes his imprisonment, while the Doctor weaponizes the corridors he once fled through.
