Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Part 4, the Doctor and Liz abandon a prisoner (Baker) to escape the Silurian base. This act leaves Baker exposed and likely influenced the later revelation in Part 5, where Baker returns infected and accuses the Doctor. The abandoned Baker’s later infection becomes the catalyst for the quarantine crisis.
