Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
After Episode 21, the Doctor may feel guilt over the Chaos of Vortis's liberation or the implicit trust placed in Vicki. By Episode 33, that guilt compounds into blame for not protecting Vicki, showing a natural escalation of his character arc as the story moves from external enemy (Animus) to interpersonal failure (losing Vicki).
