Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's moral reckoning in E14 (arming despite disarming earlier) contrasts with his regeneration in E22, where he accepts his mortality and sacrifices himself to save Peri. This shows his evolution from attempting to control life/death to surrendering to renewal.
