Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Travers’ earlier traumatic memory of blinding light and noise (suggesting the Great Intelligence’s influence) becomes the basis for the Doctor to identify Songsten as the link to the Intelligence, triggering the investigation into his betrayal."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Travers’ fragmented testimony in Episode 9 provides the Doctor with a clue that directly leads to his suspicion of Songsten as a puppet. This causal chain binds the characters’ experiences across episodes.
