Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's decision to entrust Jo with time detection (E24) directly enables her to assist in tracking the Master's TARDIS in E26, as her operational role in the pursuit becomes critical when TOM-TIT overloads."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection traces the persistence of the Doctor's trust in Jo across episodes. Her competence in temporal detection (established in E24) is directly leveraged in E26 when the Newton Institute's crisis unfolds, demonstrating continuity in her character arc and the Doctor's strategic reliance on her skills.
