Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The escalation from the Doctor’s warning about internal betrayal (Episode 40) to Maxtible’s overt hypnotism and coercion (Episode 41) raises the stakes and confirms Jamie’s suspicions, pushing the plot forward and driving action.
