How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The trauma of Sara's aging and death due to the time destructor (End of Episode 21) motivates the Doctor to seek forward momentum and intervention, which leads him to land in 16th-century Paris in Episode 22, eager for scientific advancement and healing knowledge."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's impulsive search for Preslin—whose work is framed as the most advanced of his time—can be read as a desperate attempt to reverse or understand the destructive consequences of his own actions (e.g., the time destructor) in Episode 21. This gives Episode 22's events emotional weight as a continuation of his unresolved guilt and search for meaning.
