Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Doctor’s defiling of the shrine in Episode 6 (touching the statue) is explicitly echoed in Episode 7 when he declares he carries a message from Aggedor, challenging Hepesh’s interpretation. Both moments force a confrontation with the sacred authority Hepesh claims to represent."
