Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Fendelman's decision to imprison the Doctor for 'murder' in Episode 10, despite clear warning of alien danger, sets his moral trajectory: he prioritizes his theory over human safety. This leads to his murder in Episode 11 when he finally understands the horror of his involvement. His arc is a fall from scientific integrity into complicity.
