Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Jek's unraveling madness and fixation on Peri (established in E21's confessional scene) creates the volatile environment that leads to Morgus and Stotz's pursuit. This pursuit forces the Doctor into the deadly surface chase (E22 Act 1), directly threatening his life in pursuit of Jek's Spectrox stash.
