Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Styggron's revelation of the virus plot (cand_evt_scene_d53c0e57dc56b282_1) directly causes the Doctor's infiltration of the SDC base in Episode 16 (cand_evt_scene_f2248bec54e9f5d1_04), where he seeks to warn Faraday and expose the android conspiracy."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The immediate threat of planetary genocide forces the Doctor to break free of the Kraal ship and infiltrate the SDC base in Episode 16. His goal of warning humanity about the virus (learned in Episode 15) drives the plot of Episode 16.
