Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The financial pressure from Kane in Episode 13 drives Glitz to increasingly extreme actions. By Episode 14, his survival instincts manifest in a bid for power, demonstrating a clear escalation in his moral descent. His declaration of leadership undercuts the Doctor's mission and Kane's authority, showing the destabilizing force of his desperation.
