Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Zoe's discovery of Smythe's hidden monitor behind the portrait in Episode 35 (which she later uses to steal the prison keys) is explicitly referenced and built upon in Episode 36, where the Doctor emphatically reveals the monitor’s existence to Carstairs and Buckingham."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This callback ties Zoe’s investigative skills and determination across episodes, showing how her actions in Episode 35 directly lead to the group uncovering Smythe’s surveillance system in Episode 36. It also reinforces the theme of hidden truth beneath a military facade.
