Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's expanded investigative freedom and authority in Episode 33 create the conditions for the Doctor and Jamie to be physically present in the hangar in Episode 34, where Spencer confronts them. This escalation of exposure directly results in the laser trap scene.
