Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's delegation of Dodo and Baccu to the TARDIS in Episode 27 (to retrieve supplies) sets up their absence in Episode 28, where Dodo's unfamiliarity with the ship's location highlights the time jump and the Monoids' control."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's command in Episode 27 leads to Dodo's later confusion about the TARDIS's location in Episode 28. This temporal and spatial disconnect underscores the 700-year gap and the Monoids' takeover, tying the episodes together causally.
