Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's dismissal of local reassurances and violent restraint in Episode 5 escalates to his forced confrontation in Episode 6, where he demands access to the Great Crystal. This shows his character-driven determination to act despite opposition, carrying forward the consequence of his warning from the previous episode.
