Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This callback thematically reinforces the horror of the Elders’ civilization: what the Doctor discovered in Episode 2 is now confirmed to have happened to him in Episode 3. It deepens the emotional stakes of Steven’s rescue mission.
