Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This establishes the Krotons' persistent obsession with the Doctor as a high-value intelligence asset, creating a direct throughline from his discovery in Episode 20 to the Krotons' immediate tactical response in Episode 21. This drives the entire Krotons' strategy in Episode 21.
