Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The peril faced by Polly and Jamie in the tunnels (Episode 21) directly drives the Doctor's concern for their safety in Episode 22, creating a causal link between their near-disastrous encounter and the Doctor's immediate focus on rescue and evacuation.
