Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Maitland's revival and use of futuristic tech (heart resuscitator) in Episode 31 directly enables the Doctor’s later analysis of John’s spectrograph data in Episode 32, as Maitland’s role as a crew member with access to such tech is recontextualized."
