Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection stitches the episodes together through cause and effect. Gilmore’s tactical decision to focus on the school (anticipating the Doctor’s return) creates the immediate threat zone where Episode 2’s events unfold. The school becomes a critical nexus for both Dalek activity and human strategy.
