Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Dymond’s pragmatic interruption ('Dymond forcefully terminates the Doctor and Tryst’s academic reverie') shifts focus to pressing dangers. This accelerates the plot into crisis management, leading to the failed separation plan in Episode 14. Dymond acts as a catalyst for action across episodes.
