Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Doctor's engineering insight in Episode 10 (understanding static-electricity cables) escalates into a high-stakes gamble in Episode 11—using futuristic technology (the TARDIS) as a bargaining chip to stop genocide. This reflects an escalation in both intellectual and moral stakes across episodes.
