Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

In both episodes, the Doctor responds to a companion's capture by inverting the enemy's technology against them. Part 5: saving Carstairs; Part 6: attempting to rescue Jamie. This reflects a consistent character trait: exploiting the War Lord's systems to protect friends.
