Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The thematic and practical understanding of manipulated reality in Episode 5 drives the Doctor and Jo's escape planning in Episode 6, where they must physically escape a fabricated environment. The continuity of their investigative mindset bridges the two episodes.
