Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Dodo's accidental boarding of the TARDIS (replacing Anne Chaplet) sets her up as Steven's new companion, whose arrival enables his eventual navigation of future environments — here, the Ark's control deck."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Dodo's introduction as a descendant of Anne Chaplet (real-time and narrative replacement for the abandoned girl) allows the emotional arc to continue. Her presence is necessary for the Doctor and Steven to prove their humanity in the Ark via her biological illness — thereby resolving Steven's guilt indirectly through a new companion.
