Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The internal betrayal among the War Lords (Security Chief vs. War Chief) directly leads to the Time Lords' trial being hijacked by the War Lord's defiance, where he attempts to seize control of the narrative. The conflict escalates from factional power struggles to existential judgment.
