Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The crew's animosity toward the Doctor and Leela is initially hinted at in Part 1 (e.g., Uvanov's dismissal of their safety, the sandstorm confining everyone). In Part 2, this hostility erupts into violence (Borg's assault, Uvanov's imprisonment), showing the direct consequence of the earlier tension.
