Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's earlier challenge to the Sarns' belief that the mountain spirit is 'fire itself' in Episode 16 (Planet of Fire Part 2) is mirrored when he dismisses Kamelion's silver form as 'psycomorphic fringing' in Episode 17 (Planet of Fire Part 3)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This callback reinforces the Doctor's consistent role as a debunker of religious dogma, threading through both episodes as he confronts the Sarns' superstitious interpretations.
