Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This tracks the Doctor's trajectory from cautious ally engagement in Episode 1 to high-stakes confrontation in Episode 2. The escalation in threat level (from suspicion to direct confrontation) mirrors Rubeish’s fall, reinforcing the series' intensification of conflict across episode boundaries.
