Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The resolution of the revolution and the Doctor’s departure from Xeros leads directly into Episode 30’s opening, where the Daleks are actively pursuing the TARDIS. This escalation in threat intensity moves the story from political liberation to interstellar danger, carrying Vicki from a role in liberation to one of threat evasion.
