Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's misjudgment of historical context (assuming 17th century) and rushed departure to meet Preslin in Episode 22 establishes his single-minded focus, which directly leads to Steven being abandoned in hostile territory in Episode 23."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's temporal disorientation and disregard for practical concerns early in Episode 22 creates the foundational conflict where Steven is left vulnerable in Episode 23. This continuity drives Steven's subsequent actions and relationships.
