Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s capture in Episode 25 creates the central conflict. In Episode 26, his unconscious state and vulnerability in the Solar Energy Store Room raises the tempo of rescue efforts and forces Kelly, Jamie, and Zoe to act under direct threat — a clear escalation of the crisis.
