Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection highlights Meredith's character arc from a medical authority resisting immediate action (E5) to a figure whose inaction (allowing Baker's transfer) exacerbates a later crisis (E9). It traces his evolving relationship with the Doctor from tense professional friction to direct complicity in a failing of judgment.
