Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The physical act of bringing the device to the Doctor (cand_evt_scene_7bb3e8f7da7b0b74_2) results in the Doctor's brief recovery, which validates Arak's defiance against Tuar's warnings. This validation emboldens Arak to take leadership in the rebellion in Ep 25.
