Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Doctor's protectiveness over Romana (seen in his frantic calls in Episode 11) evolves into a broader sense of responsibility, as he now attempts to stabilize an infected crew member by invoking the same comforts (K9 and the TARDIS). This shows his growing role as a moral anchor amid chaos.
