Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s insistence on rationality and communication in the face of Cyberman brute force reflects his emerging leadership style. This contrasts with his disoriented physical and psychological state in Episode 9, where he must regain authority over his own identity and the trust of his companions."
