Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This forms a key arc in Dibber's trajectory: his willingness to abandon and even murder the Doctor for self-interest is tested when practical goals (acquiring technology) become more urgent than eliminating the Doctor. The plot escalates from planning murder to mere abandonment, showing Dibber's adaptable but morally flexible character.
