Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 6, Jamie and Zoe's desperate call for the Doctor in the void sets up their vulnerability. In Episode 7, their plea to the Doctor and the TARDIS's absence is immediately replaced by their capture by tin soldiers, showing the causal progression where their earlier desperation leads to their physical subjugation by the Master's forces.
