Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's decision to destroy the plague vials using the fire (beat_2b17955f806176ba) parallels his later explanation about the necessity of the Great Fire of London (hinted at by his humming 'London's Burning' in beat_8f350c450c0e50d0). Both moments reflect the Doctor's belief in allowing fixed points in history to unfold, even when destructive, for a greater future good."
