Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s conclusion in Episode 15 that Tryst and Dymond are the Vraxoin smugglers (through his interrogation of Stott) leads directly to Episode 16’s reveal, where the Doctor exposes their conspiracy to Romana and K9."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection demonstrates the Doctor’s investigative continuity across episodes, where his deductions in one episode directly inform his actions and revelations in the next. It advances the plot by linking the dimensional crisis to the human smuggling conspiracy.
