Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Sorba's accusation of the Doctor’s group being pirates' decoys (Episode 4) reflects Dom’s early inability to recognize his old ally Milo or friend Madeleine due to trauma (Episode 5), showing how deceptive appearances lead to distrust across multiple victims."

The longer arc this connection carries
