Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This causal link demonstrates how the Doctor’s earlier discovery of the base’s militarization escalates the conflict with the Silurians. The base’s aggressive posturing and Vorshak’s belligerence are direct consequences of the militarized environment established in Episode 1.
