Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The emotional upheaval of losing the Doctor in Episode 27 (cand_evt_scene_c23dfb90e7490d6d_01) drives Ian's near-obsessive mission to rescue him in Episode 28. His solo confrontation with Lobos shows a transformation from protector to rescuer.
