Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s discovery of Vraxoin in Episode 13 directly causes the crisis in Episode 14: Rigg becomes increasingly concerned about the drug’s presence aboard his ship, making him open to the Doctor’s plan and more willing to collaborate."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Without the Vraxoin discovery, there would be no crisis of smuggling to escalate into alien threats and bureaucratic clashes. This discovery is the catalyst for the unfolding chaos across episodes.
