Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection shows Izlyr's character trajectory from cautious observer to decisive mover, driven by his 'buried debt' to the Doctor. His actions in Episode 8 (securing the vote) are a direct payoff of his secret alliance with Jo and the Doctor in Episode 7.
