Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's frustration with manual calculations and his distrust of base technology (Part 3) extends into Part 4 where he again operates independently, developing a chemical weapon (ammonium sulphide) without relying on base systems."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This continuity thread highlights the Doctor's unorthodox, instinct-driven approach to problem-solving as a persistent trait across episodes. His reliance on personal ingenuity rather than institutional resources (seen in both the ioniser calculations and the gas synthesis) underscores his character arc of being an outsider amidst bureaucratic structures.
