Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

In Episode 13, K9's proactive involvement in the TARDIS systems is a physical act of problem-solving. In Episode 15, K9's role is more technical but no less critical, reinforcing the idea that K9's primary directive—supporting the Doctor—manifests through increasingly complex operations over time.
