Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s patient, tool-based problem-solving in the relic case (Episode 1) evolves into high-stakes, split-second decision-making as the environment collapses around him (Episode 4). This escalation reflects the growing peril of the Key to Time retrieval mission across episodes.
