Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Fendelman's characterization of the skull as a neural beacon in Episode 10 foreshadows the Doctor's later revelation of temporal erasure—a catastrophic loop that erases history, mirroring the skull's 'hungry' consumption of data."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The skull's function as a 'beacon to summon intelligent life' is recontextualized by the Doctor's discovery: the Fendahl doesn't just summon life—it erases worlds from temporal memory. This escalation mirrors the rising stakes of Colby's conflict.
