Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s early assertion in E30 (that there’s something alive in the pipes) parallels his later revelation in E31 (that the seaweed is sentient and parasitic), reflecting his evolving understanding of the threat and his role as the knowledgeable outsider."
