Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection establishes a cause-and-effect chain across episodes: the unresolved investigation in Episode 22 leads to the Doctor's continued reliance on the cabbie for fast travel in Episode 24, reinforcing the cabbie's role as a consistent but passive agent of the Doctor's urgency.
