Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The act of Meglos claiming the Dodecahedron's power sets the trajectory for the entire conflict. It directly enables the Doctor's later revelation in Episode 4, where he inverts the controls to counteract Meglos's scheme, demonstrating how the earlier act of power claim creates the conditions for the Doctor's intervention.
