Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s desperate attempt to appeal to Shaw by invoking her identity in the parallel world echoes his earlier misidentification of Liz Shaw in Episode 21, reinforcing the theme of fractured identity and unrecognized authority."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 21, the Doctor is misidentified as a saboteur; in Episode 22, he leverages intentional invocation of Shaw’s counterpart. This evolves the motif of identity crisis and recognition failure across the threshold.
