Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's urgency to investigate Preslin's papers ('no time to lose') in Episode 22 escalates into Steven's urgent need to locate the Doctor in Episode 23, where time-sensitive intelligence (the assassination plot) drives him to clandestine action."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's impulsive timeline (Episode 22) contrasts with the immediate existential threat Steven faces in Episode 23, raising stakes and reinforcing the Doctor's unintended role as a catalyst for danger in Steven's journey.
