How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s bargain for the destruction of the Vardan forcefield in Episode 23 (cand_evt_scene_480af4dad879906c_3) directly leads to the breach of the forcefield in Episode 24 (cand_evt_scene_4378d03b172daea0_1) and the Doctor’s defiant refusal of Vardan oversight (cand_evt_scene_4378d03b172daea0_3)."
