Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

This betrayal directly enables Barbara’s presence in the corridor near the Control Room, where she is captured and later freed in Episode 9. It's a causal chain: deception → capture → proximity to key systems → chance to act against the Daleks.
