Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The mention of the Doctor as a 'hollow shell' in good condition in Episode 40 mirrors the Doctor's collapse in Episode 39. The dialogue in Episode 40 explicitly references the Doctor's potential for repeated exploitation, tying the two events together as part of a unified arc of exploitation.
