Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The chaos of the rebellion (E19) weakens the Minyan regime, creating the opportunity for the Doctor's Oracle heist in E20. The power vacuum and exposure of oppression allow the Doctor to exploit their weaknesses, showing how prior events create openings for future action.
