Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The external threat (storm) in Part 1 morphs into personal endangerment (bot restraint and corpse discovery) in Part 2, demonstrating escalation in both stakes and danger. This tracks the Doctor's trajectory from observer to victim, complicating his role as investigator.
