Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's action in Episode 25 reveals the immediate conspiracy (Ayden's murder), which Barbara analyzes in Episode 26 to expose Kala's deeper complicity. This creates a causal chain of exposing criminals linked by the micro-key conspiracy.
