Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Eldred's refusal to cooperate with Radnor in Episode 23 escalates into him desperately trying to reestablish contact with the Doctor in Episode 24, only to fail due to his sabotage or oversight (communications circuitry being destroyed)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Eldred's resentment toward the Doctor (and the mission) is an extension of his resentment toward the T-Mat system. His refusal to help Radnor in Episode 23 continues into Episode 24, where his desperation to control the narrative (or avoid exposure) leads to sabotaging communication with the Doctor, isolating the team.
