Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s preservation of Nero in Episode 14 indirectly fuels Nero’s grandiosity and violence in Episode 15, as Nero’s plans for 'New Rome' are tied to burning the old city. This shows escalation from interpersonal intrigue to existential disaster.
