Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's false accusations in Episode 13 damage trust within the group, and this mistrust indirectly leads to Susan's inadvertent revelation of the TARDIS key's details to Tegana. This escalates the external threat (Tegana's manipulation) and reflects the ongoing tension between the Doctor's distrust and his companions' competence.
