Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Doctor’s accusation in Episode 25 (5e3571961ea17fec_02)—where he excludes Chorley from further knowledge—sets the stage for his later revelation about a true traitor (possibly not Chorley) and the Great Intelligence’s orchestration in Episode 26 (423a23b1a7e51665_01).
