Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This directly links the Doctor's earlier outrage at Dexeter's cruelty to his scientific pursuit in Episode 12. The act of stopping Dexeter's experiment forces him into the science unit, where he begins DNA analysis, creating a narrative bridge between ethical outrage and scientific action.
