Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The TARDIS’s unwanted visibility in a modern airport prefigures its status as a target for temporal predators. Kalid’s attack on time itself (via psychotronic energy over two timelines) is an escalation of the same threat vector—the Doctor’s visibility inadvertently draws unconventional enemies.
