Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Tegana’s warning about the dangers of the Gobi (through the chess metaphor and ecological reality) escalates when the water supply is sabotaged in Episode 15, leading to the crisis of water purity and Polo’s distrust of the TARDIS in Episode 16."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The theme of desperate resource scarcity and survival pressure from Episode 15 directly fuels the paranoid tension in Episode 16, where even a scientific discovery (TARDIS condensation) is met with suspicion and control.
