Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s direct sabotage of Smythe’s ability to observe and control the situation in the War Room triggers the War Chief’s personal arrival and tactical shift—this is a clear escalation point in the alien command structure.
