Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

In Episode 34, the First Elder's reversal based on Ian's poisoning demonstrates the potential for Sensorites to accept outside help. In Episode 35, John's recovery of memory acts as a similar turning point, revealing the Administrator's treachery and enabling the Earthlings to challenge him.
