Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The existential threat the Doctor revealed to Glitz about the Matrix's inescapable traps (E13) underpins Mel's final intervention (E14) and the Doctor's tragicomic acceptance of the sentence. This shows the Doctor's strategic brilliance giving way to a sense of tragic inevitability.
