How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Doctor identifies molybdenum on the spectrograph and explains its properties and importance - Maitland and Carol react, clutching their heads in pain as they realize the Sensorites are on the ship, drawing Ian and Barbara into action to confront the aliens."
