Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Reeves' professional detachment and skepticism in Episode 21 (dismissing Hawthorne's warnings) directly drives his behavior in Episode 22, where he initially pronounces the Doctor dead despite detecting a 'second heartbeat,' which he rationalizes as an 'atypical bone structure.'"

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This continuity in Reeves' character—his unwillingness to accept supernatural explanations even when faced with undeniable anomalies—ties the two episodes together. It also sets up his eventual (if reluctant) acceptance of the Doctor's uniqueness by the end of Episode 22.
