How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s intervention in Episode 11 ensures Dexeter’s remains are part of the marsh creature lineage analysis in Episode 12. This ties the ethical stakes of Episode 11 to the biological revelations of Episode 12.
