Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Steven's illness in Episode 27 ('he may have caught the fever') foreshadows his resilience in Episode 28, where he remains a central figure despite the passage of 700 years. His continuity as a near-fatally infected but determined individual underscores his growth."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Steven's survival of the plague in Episode 27 sets up his role as a time-displaced survivor in Episode 28. His analysis and resourcefulness in Episode 28 reflect the consequences of the Doctor's earlier failed intervention.
