Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s earnest attempt to warn Federico about the Mandragora Helix (in the throne room) is met with mockery and dismissal. This rejection escalates the Doctor’s isolation and raises the cost of his failure—Federico will not listen, and lives (including possibly Sarah’s) remain in danger."
