Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Doctor’s initial sabotage in Part 4 challenges the War Lords’ control subtly. By Part 5, the stakes are raised as he actively reverses brainwashing, directly undermining the system and empowering Carstairs. This marks a critical escalation in the resistance's tactics.
