Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Parsons' attempt to scan the book with an x-ray scanner causes it to explode and glow, which forces Chronotis to reveal the book's true nature and origin ('The Worshipful And Ancient Law Of Gallifrey') to the Doctor and Romana, driving the subsequent plot."
