Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s strategic focus on the Sidrat’s controls in Episode 4 (cand_evt_scene_77566663002320ad_01) culminates in landing at the base, where Zoe is immediately captured. This creates direct continuity of their infiltration mission across episodes.
