Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Turlough's rejection of material power (the diamond) and willingness to sacrifice his newfound potential for gain (Enlightenment) parallels the Doctor's earlier selfless act of destroying the tiara to prevent Wrack from gaining godlike power. Both choices hinge on prioritizing moral integrity over personal or cosmic power."
