Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The revival of the Doctor in 'The Final Phase' is the prerequisite condition for his subsequent invention and demonstration of the Time and Space Visualiser in 'The Executioners'. This device becomes central to the plot in Episode 30, creating a direct cause-and-effect chain across episodes.
