Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

This link anchors Parsons' arc in the consequences of Skagra's thefts. His presence at the station—where the Doctor uncovers the TARDIS theft—directly informs their return to Chronotis and the revelation of Skagra's escalating plan.
