Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Dodo's cough/sneeze in E26 serves as the same kind of 'proof' as her bloodline revelation in E25: both moments identify her through bodily/identity markers. In E25, the Doctor learns she's Annies's descendant; in E26, her cold authenticates her humanity."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The narrative uses Dodo's physical traits (descendant of Anne + common cold) as the axis of her identity across episodes. This reflects how trauma (E25) and alien environments (E26) force her to define herself through tangible markers, reinforcing her role as a bridge between past and future.
