Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Vicki’s observation of the Chumbleys’ sensing mechanisms in Episode 2 (throwing a rock to confirm their front-facing detection) serves as a direct precursor to her tactical awareness in Episode 3, where she grasps how to evade them. This builds the Doctor’s trust in her resourcefulness.
