Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Geoffrey’s assassination—his death announced by Ranulf in the Great Hall—is the emotional and narrative peak of loss in Act 2. It escalates the urgency of the Doctor’s mission and deepens the tragedy, setting the stage for Kamelion’s acceptance as a new ally and Tegan’s decision to continue traveling."
