Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events center on the Doctor leveraging advanced or fake knowledge (real Terullian traces in E9, fabricated Terullian concealment in E10) to outmaneuver the Sontarans. This reinforces the theme of intelligence as a weapon against brute force.
