Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 4, the Doctor deduces that the daffodils are triggered by radio signals, a critical insight that underscores the threat of radio-based weapons. In Episode 6, the Keller Machine's influence manifests as a headache induced by unseen radio/pulsing imagery, attacking Benton directly. This escalates the stakes from external mechanical threats to psychological warfare, showing a thematic escalation of UNIT's vulnerabilities.
