Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both the Doctor and Ben/Polly engage in detective work to uncover clues about the treasure: the Doctor deciphers the rhyme in the churchyard/crypt, while Ben/Polly search for hidden tombstones. Their parallel methods reflect the shared theme of intellectual deduction under pressure."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This thematic parallel underscores the Doctor’s absence as a key driver in Episode 3: his companions adopt his investigative role, echoing his deductive skills. It also highlights the episodic structure where the Doctor’s thwarted plans (in Episode 2) lead others to pursue the treasure independently.
