Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's aggressive confrontation with Bennett in Episode 11 reflects his willingness to act unilaterally and disregard others' distress. This pattern escalates in Episode 12 where he abruptly abandons companions, prioritizing personal curiosity and adventure (e.g., pursuing Nero) over group safety, marking a clear character trajectory toward increasing impulsivity and detachment.
