Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
David’s refusal to flee Earth in Episode 6 (e.g., 'This is my planet') establishes his commitment to the resistance and foreshadows his willingness to make ruthless decisions to further their cause, even if it means temporarily abandoning allies like the Doctor. This moment in Episode 7 is a direct outgrowth of that mindset.
