Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's positioning as an opponent of tyranny carries forward into Romana's culminating act of rejecting his authority. His earlier defense of the Tharil servant becomes a thematic foundation for Romana's eventual leadership of the very same oppressed people.
