Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's discovery of the second pod (paired with the first) in Part 1 enables the later revelation that the entity killing Moberley is using his corpse to spread the Krynoid, tying together the pod's proliferation and the alien entity's infiltration."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This links the physical threat (Krynoid pods) to the shapeshifting threat (Moberley's corpse), showing how the crisis escalates from agricultural horror to identity-erasure horror. Sarah's continuity is reinforced as she witnesses both manifestations of the Krynoid's spread.
About Causal Connections
A directly causes B. The first event sets forces in motion that produce the second. These are the load-bearing connections of plot--remove one and the story structure collapses.
