Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's deduction that Autons can be activated by heat (from Yates' Bunsen burner) leads to the realization in Episode 4 that daffodils are triggered by radio signals"
inferred by llm_cross_episode_character
Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The pattern recognition from Episode 3 (heat activation) establishes a broader understanding of Auton activation methods that is directly used in Episode 4 to deduce the radio-triggered nature of the daffodils, showing narrative causality across episodes.
