Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Jamie's volunteering to go to the glacier (based on the computer's prioritization of mission over human life in Episode 12) leads directly to the lack of communication and concern raised in Episode 13 when no transmissions come from the glacier cave."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Jamie's willingness to risk himself in Episode 12 stems from Clent's earlier devaluation of Victoria's life. This sets up the emotional stakes for Episode 13, where the Doctor begins to suspect something is wrong based on Arden and Jamie's silence.
