Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's protest (Episode 2) forces the trial to confront its fragility, which the Valeyard then exploits in Episode 3 by introducing extreme and fabricated accusations. This intensifies the conflict and underscores the systemic corruption.
