Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Kewper's immediate suspicion of the Doctor and companions (episode 1) for Longfoot's murder is later echoed when Pike reveals that Cherub (not the Doctor) committed the murder (Episode 2). This foreshadows Kewper's vulnerability to manipulation by pirates."
