Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Marat’s self-sacrifice becomes a turning point that elevates Codal’s dependence on the Doctor’s leadership. In Part 4, Codal’s rope rescue of the Doctor—mirroring Marat’s corporal risk—demonstrates continuity in the Doctor’s ability to inspire protective loyalty in his allies despite their losses.
