Why This Matters Across Episodes

In Episode 15, the Doctor exposes Taltalian's sabotaging of the mission (cand_evt_scene_76a97085db226329_01), while in Episode 16, he reveals Carrington's covert opposition to the mission (cand_evt_scene_45eb6c136fdc0634_01). Both events underscore the theme of institutional incompetence or malice forcing the Doctor to take direct action.
