Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Hart's shift from dismissing the Doctor's fantastical claims to acknowledging the tangible evidence (Trenchard's death, stolen spares) creates a foundation for his later moral rebellion against Walker's reckless orders. This continuity in Hart's character trajectory bridges the episodes, emphasizing his growing distrust of unauthorized authority.
