Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Doctor's defiance in Episode 6 (claiming amnesia defensively) evolves into a more aggressive refusal to accept procedural concessions in Episode 7 (rejecting adjournment despite memory loss). This reflects his character trajectory: from deferential procedural play to outright defiance against institutional gaslighting.
