How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect

"The Doctor's realization about the asteroid's potential in Episode 2 (cand_evt_scene_fd5ef90ef9d2e316_01) directly causes his deduction of the Rani's plan in Episode 3 (cand_evt_scene_0da6ed69c84f4d2f_1)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's investigative skills and memory of the asteroid's properties in Episode 2 enable him to identify the Rani's new target in Episode 3, forming a causal chain of his strategic thinking.
