Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Carstairs’ successful bluff to obtain an ambulance under Ransom’s nose in Episode 36 enables the high-speed escape from Roman soldiers at the start of Episode 37. The ambulance is the key vehicle for their inter-time travel."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The deception orchestrated by Carstairs in Episode 36 directly results in their access to the ambulance in Episode 37. Without that ambulance, they could not have fled through time zones when attacked by Romans.
