Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor and Zoe's discovery of the Krotons' use of mental energy to operate a thermal switch in Episode 20 foreshadows the Doctor's later deduction of the Krotons' tellurium-based life system in Episode 21."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's growing understanding of the Krotons' technology and methods, first observed in Episode 20, sets up his later scientific intuition in Episode 21. This foreshadows his deductive leap about tellurium, which becomes central to the resolution.
