Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The failed attempt to control the drill’s heat/pressure ( Episode 22) escalates to the brink of planetary destruction ( Episode 23), where the Doctor’s warnings are confirmed true. The initial intellectual crisis in E22 becomes a life-or-death physical and existential crisis in E23.
