Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The conflict between the Doctor’s investigatory persistence and Quinlan’s bureaucratic obstruction intensifies from Ep 13 to Ep 14. Quinlan’s initial evasion leads directly to a more confrontational demand from the Doctor, who now insists on examining the astronauts.
