Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's philosophy that 'the least important things lead to the greatest discoveries' (cand_evt_scene_d377197bd37bef12_02) is mirrored in Ian's calculated provocation of the guard (cand_evt_scene_56340fd31743c641_01), who exploits the Moroks' procedural rules to survive.
