Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Duggan's aggressive intervention at the Louvre (marked by his pulling of a concealed handgun and taking command) exposes the Doctor and Romana's interference, making them targets for Scarlioni's retaliatory measures in Ep 6. This establishes Duggan's role as a catalyst for conflict, forcing the trio into Scarlioni's crosshairs.
