Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events force the Doctor into a position of vulnerability and accusations from authority figures (police vs. Daleks). The recurring theme of authority figures falsely accusing the Doctor sets up his role as a persecuted outsider across episodes, bonding the two narrative moments through the emotion of betrayal.
