How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This creates a direct consequence chain: Steven’s improvisation in Episode 15 forces the Doctor to consider the taranium’s vulnerability in Episode 16, driving the episode’s tension and action.
