Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Tlotoxl’s observation of the Doctor’s activities in Episode 28 (and his subsequent attempt to undermine Barbara) sets up the confrontation in Episode 29. Tlotoxl’s suspicion is not unfounded—it directly stems from the Doctor’s activities.
