Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Buckingham's earlier admission of fragmented memories about disorienting mists and field dressing stations in Episode 36 foreshadows her acceptance of the Doctor's explanation of temporal displacement in Episode 37. Her willingness to process impossible time jumps grows directly from this prior cognitive dissonance."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The memory gaps Buckingham reveals in Episode 36 (while talking to Carstairs) make her more receptive to the Doctor's radical explanation about passing through time zones in the ambulance in Episode 37. The continuity lies in her shifting mindset from 'strange mist' to 'time travel'—a trajectory of increasing openness to the extraordinary.
