Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's discovery of the Zygon signalling device and its use to lure the Skarasen (cand_evt_scene_c1c6834dbfb5ea9a_1) escalates into broader alien infiltration involving aristocrats and shapeshifting in Episode 3, as seen in the Duke's betrayal."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This represents an escalation from environmental manipulation (signalling the Skarasen) to full societal infiltration (Zygons replacing aristocrats). Sarah's research mission in Episode 3 is a direct response to this expanded threat.
