Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Turlough's arc from pleading for Malkon's life in Episode 17 ('We must get him back to the TARDIS') to commanding the Sarns ('Your people must go to the ruin') and then seeking refuge in the TARDIS reveals his evolving role: from personal concern to communal leadership. This continuity ties his fractured loyalties into a cohesive trajectory.
