Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries Jamie’s role as a double agent across the episode boundary, escalating his mission from initial success (Ep 18) to active resistance against Salamander’s forces (Ep 19). The Doctor’s strategic planning in Ep 18 sets Jamie up for direct confrontation and information extraction in Ep 19.
