Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 5, the Doctor shields Ace from the light and seeks to reason with Redvers. In Episode 6, the Doctor indirectly enables Redvers’s liberation by leaving straps on, enabling him to use the restraints as a shield—a callback to protection and manipulation of oppressive control.
