Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

In Episode 9, the Doctor's presence leads to the revelation of the Daleks' genocidal plan ('They intend to blow a hole through the centre of the Earth.'), while in Episode 29, he facilitates the Xerons' successful revolution ('Your party made our revolution a success.'). Both episodes position the Doctor as an agent who disrupts oppressive forces.
