Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This causal chain links Jamie's assertive agency (blinding the soldier) to the escalation of physical threat in the Citadel. It demonstrates how his active resistance—previously ineffective in the face of the Doctor's dismissal—now leads to direct confrontation with the Master's systems.
