Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Both events feature characters struggling against external forces to regain mobility and freedom. In Episode 17, the Doctor outwits the Monk to regain control of the TARDIS. In Episode 18, Steven and Sara are initially bound but later regain freedom through coordinated action, reflecting the same theme of overcoming oppression.
