Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection establishes Skagra's relentless pursuit of the Gallifreyan Law, which forces the Doctor and Romana into a reactive position. The earlier event (stealing the car) is a concrete action that accelerates the conflict into the search for the artifact in Part 2.
