Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Having physically grappled with the reality of shapeshifting infiltrators, Benton’s credibility in reassuring—or at least steadying—others increases. His measured presence when Sarah is panicked about the Doctor’s absence reflects learned equanimity under duress.
