How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"In both events, Steven uses a disguise to manipulate authority figures: in Episode 15, he blinds a Dalek guard to board a ship; in Episode 16, he wears a police uniform to extract the Doctor from police custody. Both instances show his adaptability and willingness to exploit systemic blind spots."
