How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Doctor's high-stakes plan to split the team in Episode 19 escalates into Jo leading a life-or-death search in the Dalek corridor in Episode 20. The team's physical dispersal in Episode 19 leads to a loss of cohesion in Episode 20 that Jo must overcome."
