Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Parry and Klieg dismiss the Doctor's expertise in Episode 1 but find themselves critically reliant on it in Episode 2 when Klieg cracks the tomb’s code. This foreshadows both Parry's vulnerability and the Doctor’s indispensability, culminating in Klieg’s betrayal of that trust via sabotage and revival.
