Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This is the critical turning point in Turlough's conflict arc: the Guardian's betrayal (Ep19) forces him to choose the Doctor's side (Ep1). His plea for help and refusal is the exact catalyst for his later declaration of commitment, showing a shift from coerced agent to willing companion.
