Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s discovery of numismaton gas as a healing agent in Episode 17 logically leads to his desperate use of it in Episode 18 to save Malkon. This action also challenges Timanov’s religious dogma, creating thematic escalation across episodes.
