Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s attempt to jam the bomb’s signal using a remote countermeasure (Episode 20) is echoed when he reveals the existence of a smuggled bomb aboard the freighter (Episode 21), forcing Captain Briggs to confront the same threat under different conditions."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This repetition of bomb-related technological countermeasures and human denial reflects a thematic cycle of prevention and consequence. Adric’s presence during both events reinforces his continuity as the one learning through repeated exposure to danger.
