Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Hade's decision to arm the Doctor and unleash him into the Undercity backfires when the Doctor allies with rebels. This causal chain forces Hade into a corner: his rigid bureaucratic manipulation (using the Doctor as a tool) collapses, pushing him toward violent enforcement.
