Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's hasty departure in Episode 25 to intercept Skagra directly causes the gathering of allies (Romana, Clare, K9) in Chronotis's rooms to strategize. This planning session is only possible because of his earlier actions.
