Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Sensorites' response to the discovery of molybdenum (a valuable mineral) in Episode 32 leads directly to the revelation of human exploitation in Episode 33. This escalation ties the scientific tension (mineral wealth) to a moral and historical conflict, raising the stakes for the Doctor's group.
