Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's immediate and desperate rescue of Sarah in the decompression chamber in Episode 2 establishes his physical proximity to the Zygon vessel and the Skarasen's tracking systems, which enables Harry's subsequent sabotage of the Zygon control panel in Episode 3."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries the physical near-miss of the Doctor and the operational reality that the Zygons' tracking systems are vulnerable. It directly enables Harry's action in Episode 3 and advances Broton's miscalculation about the Doctor's survival.
About Causal Connections
