Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's revelation of the Dominators' genocidal planetary destruction plan (E5) escalates into a literal volcanic crisis (E6) where the TARDIS is engulfed in lava, raising the stakes from planetary to existential peril."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The shift from Dominion threat to immediate environmental catastrophe raises the urgency of the narrative. Jamie's alert ('Doctor, come on!') in Episode 6 directly echoes his earlier proactive stance in Episode 5, but now the danger is inescapable and existential.
