Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's lingering weakness from the drugs in Episode 6 makes him an immediate liability in Episode 7's warehouse crisis, forcing Susan and David to leave him behind. This fulfills the earlier foreshadowing of his vulnerability.
