Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

This callback reinforces Benton’s loyalty as a constant thread across episodes. Both moments hinge on his quiet defiance of authority (Yates/Finch) in service of the Doctor, linking his personal integrity to the Doctor’s evolving status as fugitive and leader.
