Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s dispatch of Ben to the control room in Episode 23 (sickbay) leads directly to Ben’s presence and actions in Episode 24 (sickbay), where he assists in calming Jamie and accompanies Hobson. This action enables Ben’s later role in validating the Cyberman’s existence."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This causal link propels Ben from a bystander role to an active participant in the crisis. His presence in Episode 24 is contingent on the Doctor’s order, showing how the Doctor’s investigative instincts drive his companions into positions of witness and action.
