Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's discovery of the sabotage's mechanics (including rockets) is a direct consequence of the pirates' prior actions. This connection underscores the interconnectedness of the antagonist's schemes and the Doctor's unfolding investigation.
