Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Cornish’s climactic doubt about the astronauts’ survival ('If they're alive') (Episode 13) is answered in Episode 14 by Liz, who confirms they are not alive but rather were replaced by deadly radiation-emitting beings."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The question raised by Cornish at the end of Episode 13 is directly resolved in Episode 14 by Liz’s Geiger counter detection and the Doctor’s deduction, creating a meaningful callback that deepens the mystery's impact.
About Callback Connections
