Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Mel’s fleeing from the Urak ambush in Episode 2 directly correlates to her subsequent capture by Tetraps (under Urak’s orders or as a result of the Rani’s retaliatory measures) in Episode 3. This escalates the danger for Mel and the stakes for the Doctor.
