Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s deduction of time zones in Episode 37 enables his suspicion that the Sidrat must return to its base, which he confirms in Episode 38 by observing the landing of the Sidrat and focusing on its controls."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s earlier revelation to Carstairs about time zones provides the conceptual foundation for his later decision to target the Sidrat’s base as the origin point of the War Lords’ operations. This is a direct causal link establishing the Doctor’s investigative continuity.
