Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor elevating Kelner to Acting Vice-President in Episode 23 (Castellan's Office) foreshadows the Vardan Leader's eventual seizure of command from Kelner in Episode 24 (Panopticon). Both scenes depict shifts in Gallifreyan power structures under Vardan influence."
