Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The technological threat (Episode 19) is superseded by a personal, immediate danger (Episode 20), escalating both the stakes and the Doctor's physical involvement in the conflict. This mirrors the series' pattern of scientific puzzles turning into life-or-death crises.
About Escalation Connections
