Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This causal link demonstrates the escalating consequences of the Commandant's actions. His decision to confront the Doctor's claims directly results in the Doctor and Jamie becoming fugitives, which forces a tactical split in the team and accelerates the Doctor's investigation.
