Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Black Guardian's role in Episode 17 as the White Guardian's adversary sets the stage for Turlough's suffering in Episode 19. Turlough's abandonment is directly tied to the Black Guardian's enmity toward the Doctor and his companions, making this a causal link.
