Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's near-exposure in the scullery (Episode 16) leads to his eventual disguise as an old woman, which continues into Episode 17 where he uses this persona to interact with Polly, Kirsty, and Perkins."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's disguise is a continuous thread carried across the episode boundary, enabling his manipulations and allowing him to move freely between locations without detection.
