Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's grim acceptance of Steven's likely death ('his chances of survival...are utterly...') in Episode 35 is immediately contradicted by Steven's unexpected arrival in the TARDIS in Episode 36. This twist in Steven's fate creates a direct narrative bridge between the episodes."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The unresolved fate of Steven in Episode 35 is closed in Episode 36 in a dramatic, non-lethal twist. This serves as a major narrative hinge in the series, tied directly to Vicki's emotional arc with Steven present in both.
