Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection escalates the threat from structural domination (mining Earth’s resources) to existential annihilation, driving the urgency of the mission across episodes. The Doctor’s warning in Episode 8 becomes literal in Episode 9.
