Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Robson’s dismissal of the pressure drop and the Doctor’s theory in Episode 29 provides the context for the escalated physical threat in Episode 30, where the gas leak directly endangers Maggie. This marks a clear escalation from internal system failures to external, intelligent attacks.
