Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Mawdryn's assertion of instability during the transmat crisis in Episode 10 foreshadows his continued disruptive presence in Episode 11 where he commands the TARDIS crew to avoid new coordinates. His scattered, urgent commands reflect his fractured state and inability to control events, tying his character across episodes.
