Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s investigation of Mistfall (the boiling lake, alien fog) in Episode 9 motivates his continued scientific inquiry into the planet’s hostile ecology in Episode 10. His interaction with the dying amphibians and his mission to understand the environment stem directly from earlier curiosity."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection shows the Doctor’s relentless curiosity as a constant driver. His scientific inquiry in Episode 9 causes him to remain on the planet in Episode 10 despite the TARDIS’s disappearance, linking the two plotlines through intellectual persistence.
