Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor tending to Astrid’s wound (Episode 17) establishes a fragile trust between them, which is complicated in Episode 18 when the Doctor—impersonating Salamander—must still rely on Astrid’s network and credibility for infiltration."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Astrid’s previous act of saving the team and receiving medical care from the Doctor builds a tenuous bond. Despite the impersonation and growing suspicion, Astrid continues to be instrumental—her trustworthiness becomes a pivotal issue in Episode 18.
