Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's proactive decision to arm the rebellion with explosives in Part 5 sets up the morally fraught climax in Part 6, where he physically holds the detonation wires. His hesitation and Sarah's urging in Part 6 reflect the consequences of his earlier choice.
