Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Carstairs' capture and sacrifice in Episode 37 is referenced implicitly by the Security Chief's use of Zoe's interrogation in Episode 39 to expose the Doctor's allies' knowledge."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Carstairs’ capture (Episode 37) is not directly mentioned in Episode 39, but his role as an insider plant whose sacrifice reveals time travel secrets is echoed when Zoe under interrogation reveals the nature of the TARDIS, which aligns with Carstairs’ exposure of Resistance members—both events highlighting the War Lords' internal awareness of their enemies' tools and secrets.
