Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The initial presence of Bromley and Slocum in Episode 19 sets up their proximity in the reactor switch room, where Slocum's transformation later occurs. This transformation directly leads to the crisis the Doctor must solve in Episode 20, creating a causal chain across episodes.
