Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Storr's pre-existing ailing condition (fatal infection) and his defiant, hands-on survivalist attitude in E12 directly lead to his role in minimizing Penley's scientific approach to Jamie's paralysis in E14."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Storr's distrust of scientific explanations (seen in E12 where he dismisses Penley's medical advice and prioritizes his own survival) is reinforced in E14 where he dismisses Penley's scientific explanations for Jamie's paralysis ('Ah, because he's a scientist. He can produce an explanation for anything.'). This maintains Storr's character trajectory as a survivalist who rejects abstract science.
