Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This links the Doctor’s moral interventions to direct villainous retaliation, driving the plot forward. Kellman’s arc—from subtle traitor to violent collaborator—is a direct consequence of the Doctor’s interference.
