Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The debt to Kane (established in Episode 13) forces Glitz into a desperate financial and survival position. This directly motivates his pragmatic, self-serving behavior in Episode 14, where he abandons allies to secure wealth. The conflict between the Doctor's moral mission and Glitz's financial desperation is the core tension of their partnership.
