Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
From mechanical sabotage and equipment denial (EP22) to psychological and moral coercion by a hidden 'Boss' (EP23), the Doctor's battle with Global Chemicals’ malevolence intensifies. Fell's death—driven by guilt and corporate obedience—reflects the escalating personal cost of resistance to the Doctor’s interventions.
