Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Maxil's armed seizure and lethal threat in Ep 2 create the immediate need for Damon to act covertly in Ep 3, restoring the TARDIS's systems to enable the Doctor's escape. This establishes Damon's growing allegiance to the Doctor over institutional obedience.
