Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection traces Vorshak's evolving trust in the Doctor, which is mediated by Preston's consistent loyalty to protocol. His initial acknowledgment that Turlough was truthful (cand_evt_scene_bac31d0cb1a0cb16_1) contrasts with his desperate acceptance of the Doctor's unconventional plan (cand_evt_scene_efa374e147d5c1fa_1), highlighting Preston's role in enforcing Vorshak's commands even when they defy his better judgment.
