Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Fisk's orders to kill the Doctor and Romana if they resist (Episode 15) escalate the threat level, forcing Romana to immediately disarm Fisk and flee to protect both herself and the Doctor (Episode 16). This creates a direct causal chain linking Fisk's aggression to Romana's proactive resistance.
