How these two moments in the story relate

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The theme of outsiders being targeted as commodities is intensified from Episode 2 to Episode 3. What begins as suspicion of Dodo's identity (outsider from 'beyond time') becomes a systemic policy when Jano includes all TARDIS crew as exploitable resources.
