Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s use of electromagnetic principles to deduce sabotage (Part 2) is recalled when Zoe uses applied physics to calculate the TARDIS’s trajectory (Part 3), reinforcing the theme of the Doctor’s companions applying his teachings."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Zoe’s ability to deduce their position using mathematical analysis mirrors the Doctor’s electromagnetic deduction, showing that his intellectual influence persists even when he is not physically performing the deduction. This callback reinforces the Doctor’s role as a mentor shaping his companions' problem-solving methods.
