Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The moment Jamie is revealed not to swim, and Trask’s sadistic amusement, creates a strong sense of irreversible entrapment. This directly sets up the revelation in the barn where the Doctor confirms their captivity on the Annabelle — solidifying the hellish fate the prisoners face.
