Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Doctor's decision to use K9 to silence Leela in Episode 21 demonstrates his willingness to instrumentalize K9 for coercive purposes. This trajectory peaks in Episode 22, where K9 unflinchingly executes destructive actions against both guards and critical systems.
