Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's assertion that 'the least important things sometimes lead to the greatest discoveries' (Ep27) parallels Vicki's recognition that the armory's electronic brain—a seemingly minor detail—can be manipulated. This subtle setup prepares the viewer for Vicki's ingenuity in Episode 28.
