Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Both episodes feature a collapse of a companion's constructed identity under scrutiny: Kamelion's mechanical failure in Episode 15 and Turlough's psychological unraveling in Episode 16. This parallel reinforces the Doctor's role as a witness to turmoil and his struggle to guide his companions through self-reckoning.
