Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Carstairs’ duplicity in Ep 37—pretending to serve the War Lords while aiding the Doctor—is directly undermined in Ep 38 when he is strapped to a gurney and subjected to forced memory rewriting. His crisis of identity escalates from tactical deception to existential violation.
