Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Polly discovering the name 'Ringwood' on a tombstone echoes the Doctor's earlier riddle about the Churchwarden's names. This loops back to the Doctor's investigation in Episode 3."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The rhyme's names (Ringwood, Smallbeer, Gurney) recur thematically and structurally: they stall Cherub in Episode 4 just as they guided Ben and Polly in Episode 3. This creates a satisfying callback and narrative continuity.
About Callback Connections
B explicitly references A. A later moment deliberately echoes an earlier one, creating a sense of narrative completeness and rewarding memory.
