Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's refusal to accept the Matrix's reliability in Episode 11 (Episode 1) sets up his central demand in Episode 12 (Episode 2) to test the Matrix's conditions. This continuity reinforces his characterization as a tactical opponent to the Valeyard.
