Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s attempts to 'help' the Ice Warriors in Episode 15 (e.g., offering to use the ioniser) lead directly to his hands-on engineering of their sonic weapon in Episode 16. This shows his adaptation from verbal diplomacy to technical improvisation, a key part of his character trajectory.
