Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Waterfield’s defiance in Part 4 sets up his continued resistance and sense of culpability, which motivates his actions in Part 5. His refusal to conceal the Daleks' crimes and his guilt over prior deaths (e.g., Kennedy, Toby) foreshadow his desperate attempts to stop the 'human factor' experiment before it’s too late.
