Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Doctor's initial defiance (Episode 19) creates an unexpected bond with the Khan, which the Khan later exploits in Episode 20 by demanding the Doctor's presence. This continuity underscores the Khan's psychological need for the Doctor's expertise, despite his own suspicions.
