Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's interpretation of the rhyme as four names (Ringwood, Smallbeer, Gurney, 'Deadman') directly enables Pike to identify the loose flagstone and uncover the pearls."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Without the Doctor's decoding of the Churchwarden's clue in Episode 3, Pike cannot find the treasure in Episode 4. This is a direct causation where the Doctor's actions enable the antagonists' discovery.
