Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's persuasive leadership in E15 directly enables the mass defiance of guards by work units in E16, with Goudry explicitly emerging as the rebellion's voice. This tracks Goudry's trajectory from Company asset to insurgent.
