Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's act of freeing Carstairs in Episode 39 humanizes him to the Scientist's assistant, which likely contributes to Carstairs' later cooperation with the Doctor's sabotage in Episode 40. This builds trust and shared resistance against the War Lords.
