How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Doctor's concern for Steven's safety in 'The O.K. Corral' (as a reason to intervene) evolves into his direct care for the weakened savage in 'The Savages Episode 2'. This continuity underscores the Doctor's deepening empathy for the vulnerable under his care."
