Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s dismissal of their covert investigation in Episode 31 forces the team into a tactical rethink in Episode 32, where they must rely on Ben’s investigation and Jamie’s surveillance of the kiosk. This escalates the investigation and strains team cohesion.
