Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The seeds of the Doctor's distrust among the Consuls are sown in Episode 23 when Kassia frames him as a threat. In Episode 24, Melkur exploits this distrust by weaponizing the Doctor's past, revealing how institutional fear of "traitors" can be used to manipulate bureaucrats like Luvic.
