Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This is a CAUSAL bridge: Zoe’s memorization of resistance data in episode 40 is defined as her strategic value. Episode 41 shows the Doctor exploiting that value by deploying her to 'dismantle' the war control unit, despite undermining her autonomy with dismissive language.
