Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Krotons' earlier decision to prioritize capture over destruction of the TARDIS and the Doctor/Zoe (Episode 21) establishes their long-term strategic focus on acquiring high-brain organics. This leads to their immediate reaction in Episode 22 to detect the Doctor and Zoe's presence near the Dynatrope and order their capture.
