Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Doctor's imprisonment in Episode 40 establishes LeMaitre's control over the Doctor's movements and status. This dynamic directly leads to Episode 41's events where LeMaitre's obsession with Susan's imprisonment (his 'vendetta') overrides even Robespierre's summons, showing a consolidation of his erratic, subordinate power. The Jailer's role in this dynamic remains consistent as an enforcer of LeMaitre's will, reflecting his initial subordination in Episode 40.
