Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Despite landing safely in the woods, the lingering influence of the Mandragora Helix and the Doctor’s weakened state allow Sarah to be swiftly captured by hooded figures (cultists), while the Doctor is incapacitated. The Helix’s residual effect or presence makes this vulnerability possible."
