Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Tor’s revelation in Episode 27 directly motivates the rebels to track the Doctor’s companions (Ian, Barbara, Vicki) in Episode 28, as they now see the Doctor and his group as potential allies or sources of weapons. This connection carries Tor’s strategic imperative across episodes.
