Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's willingness to use lethal force to protect Peri in Episode 5 (cand_evt_scene_977611e72d4d1b41_1) foreshadows his willingness to sacrifice her for self-preservation in Episode 6 (cand_evt_scene_db0bff29cccb78d6_1). This shows the Doctor's descent from protector to manipulator, an escalation in his moral compromises across episodes.
