Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Omega's earlier demonstration of power—throttling a companion with casual brutality—is a precursor to his far more intimate and invasive attack in Episode 2001. Where he once merely crushed a human, he now phases directly into the Doctor's form, seizing his presence and merging with him in a horrific bonding that shatters the Doctor's composure. This represents a clear escalation from external dominance to internal violation.
