Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
K9’s dialogue with Mentalis in Part 3 fundamentally enables the Doctor and Romana’s discovery in Part 4—what was a locked mystery becomes a known doomsday scenario. This is a narratively direct continuation of the same thread: exposing the war machine.
