Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's interrogation of Tryst about the CET machine and his suspicions of smuggling (Episode 13) directly fuels his continued pursuit of the Vraxoin plot and clash with Rigg over its origins (Episode 14)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's proactive investigation into Tryst's suspicious activities (e.g., 'zoo' comments, CET machine origins) establishes his suspicion of illegal operations aboard the Empress, which he later directs toward uncovering Vraxoin smuggling and confronting Rigg's denial. This shows his persistent, unbound curiosity and refusal to accept institutional blind spots.
