How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect

"Vicki redirecting the Doctor into the TARDIS (Horse of Destruction) sets up the corrective action for Steven’s poisoning in the next episode (The Nightmare Begins). The urgency to tend to Steven’s injuries necessitates the TARDIS landing on Kembel."
