Why These Connect

"The Doctor attempts to calm a trapped marsh creature, showing empathy (Act 3), which leads directly to his confrontation with Citizen Dexeter over the specimen’s useless classification and his offer to provide a second opinion—a challenge to the Deciders’ cold scientific dogma."
About Causal Connections
