Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The instability of the TARDIS's arrival in Episode 11 forces the Doctor and companions into immediate danger in Episode 12, where the Dalek conflict erupts. Tegan's injury in the warehouse battle (Episode 12) is a direct consequence of this unstable arrival.
