Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Jamie’s frustration with bureaucratic evasion in Episode 3 directly mirrors the escalated authoritarianism of Rago in Episode 4. Both scenes foreground Jamie’s protective instincts and defiance against institutional power, carrying the Doctor and Jamie’s rejection of pacifism across the episode boundary.
