Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Odysseus's attempt to seize the TARDIS as spoils of war in Episode 9 directly causes the Doctor's urgency to escape Troy and land the TARDIS on Kembel in Episode 10, where Steven's blood poisoning requires immediate attention."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The threat to the TARDIS from Odysseus’s forces forces an immediate departure from Troy. This urgency carries forward, driving the plot in Episode 10 where the Doctor prioritizes finding a cure for Steven over other concerns.
About Causal Connections
