Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Mandragora Helix's promise of power to the Masked Man (beat_05097d7ccec18d12) parallels the Doctor's explanation of the Helix's strategy—to leverage humanity's transitional state between superstition and reason to gain control (beat_70536067220ee858). Both moments explore the theme of power through manipulation of human belief systems."
