Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both episodes explore themes of discovery and curiosity versus authoritarian control. In Episode 11, Penley dismisses alarms to investigate the glacier, while in Episode 12, he decides to hunt the glacier for answers, paralleling the Doctor's unorthodox methods."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The parallel between Penley's intellectual curiosity (ignoring alarms in Episode 11) and his active investigation in Episode 12 reinforces the theme that human curiosity and judgment are essential to overcoming the glacier's mysteries and dangers, contrasting with Clent's reliance on computers.
