Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The discussion of satellite-based T-Mat workaround in Episode 27 directly enables the Doctor's later plan of launching a false signal satellite in Episode 28, creating a causal chain of technical improvisation."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Zoe's technical observation about satellites ('I thought no one used them nowadays') becomes the foundation for the Doctor's final gambit. The earlier debate provides narrative justification for this escalation.
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
