"The Doctor’s insistence on immunity to danger in Episode 16 (poisonous atmosphere) is later echoed when Chen blames the Doctor for sabotaging the taranium in Episode 17."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Just as the Doctor claims immunity to Earth’s pollution but is wrong, Chen falsely accuses the Doctor of a greater sabotage. Both episodes show the Doctor’s authority being undermined by events, reinforcing his fallibility and the dangers of his mission.
