Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's dismissal of Polly's concern for Quinn in Episode 11 (Part 3) drives his later focus on decoding the notice board in Episode 12 (Part 4), where Polly's kidnapping is still unresolved."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's prioritization of the Dalek threat over individual justice continues into Episode 12, where he channels his energy into deciphering the rebels' coded message, indirectly tied to finding Polly. This shows his evolving prioritization of the greater threat over immediate personal concerns.
