Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Ian's escalating unease in Episode 16 (e.g., his pen vanishing) directly fuels his questioning of the Doctor's approach in Episode 17. This continuity underscores Ian's shift from skepticism to a more urgent, protective role, aligning with his character trajectory as a grounding presence amid chaos.
