Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's determination in Episode 18 to secure the Elixir for Sarah creates the urgent need for Solon to manipulate Sarah's vulnerability in Episode 19. This builds a causal chain where Condo's brutality and Solon's manipulation are direct responses to the Doctor's protective goals.
About Causal Connections
