Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's intervention via SIDRAT in Episode 8 directly causes the group's imprisonment and the subsequent breakdown of trust in Episode 9. This action sets the stage for the Doctor's isolation and the companions' accusations.
