Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Doctor's stated plan to destroy the taranium before the Daleks catch up (cand_evt_scene_688ee520f0004f7c_01) escalates into Sara's proactive demand for action (cand_evt_scene_979fa14e4ee42b8d_01), demonstrating the immediate consequences of the Doctor's TARDIS chaos in Episode 16 rippling into Episode 17.
