Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Monoids' rise to power in Episode 28 sets the stage for their aggressive expansion and internal strife in Episode 29. This escalation reflects the Monoids' character trajectory from oppressed to oppressors, and the Doctor's role as a witness to this shift.
