Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The First Elder's dilemma in Episode 36—between respect for the Doctor's past aid and suspicion of the humans—directly stems from the Administrator's manipulation of the Second Elder's disappearance, which was first witnessed by the Doctor in Episode 35. This creates a continuous character arc for the First Elder reacting to escalating Sensorite treachery.
