Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Monarch's strategic separation of the companions and allies lays the groundwork for the Doctor's vulnerable position in Part 3. By isolating Bigon for interrogation, the Monarch sets up the Doctor's ultimate betrayal and capture, as Bigon's removal leaves the Doctor without a critical ally.
