Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Each false alarm forces the group to confront a greater reality: in Episode 5, someone truly (phials) or metaphorically (petrification) was present; in Episode 6, radiation and Daleks are real threats. This theme of discovering hidden dangers underpins the series' growing dread.
