Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
K9's initial calculations in Episode 13 of a reverse transition are a minor function compared to his later bypassing of security systems in Episode 15. This escalation reflects K9's growth in utility and the Doctor's increasing reliance on him as their options narrow, highlighting his role as the unsung hero of their survival.
