Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The discovery of the dwarf star alloy hull’s role in accelerating dimensional collapse in E19 directly informs Romana and the Doctor’s realization in E20 that Rorvik’s 'back blast' plan will catastrophically rupture the mirrors."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This causal link binds the two episodes’ core conflict: the alloy's properties, once misunderstood, become the trigger for systemic collapse. The realization drives moral urgency—cannot flee if it means others perish.
