Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The infiltrator's actions in avoiding detection and studying the ship's layout (as implied by the Doctor's later investigation) enable the Doctor to uncover and present evidence of Mogarian defiance and subterfuge. This connection carries the conflict from covert infiltration to overt confrontation.
