Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Tyler's initial caution and later defiance in Episode 2 reflect his character's continuity from Episode 1, where he operates as a independent cosmic ray researcher. His distrust of the Doctor's plan in Episode 2 is a direct extension of his professional skepticism, linking his behavior across episodes.
