Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Axons' actions in Episode 12 demonstrate their ruthless efficiency and disregard for allies, which foreshadows their willingness to harm even potential informants like the Doctor and Jo in Episode 13. The Axon Delegate's role in both events as a direct executor of Axonite actions reinforces this continuity.
