Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's impostor status in Episode 1 (despite his slip) sets up Romana's expert dismantling of the tachyon experiment in Episode 2. This cross-episode arc shows the escalation from personal deception to systemic fraud, with Mena's growing suspicion acting as the catalyst.
