Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

This continuity shows the Doctor’s evolving understanding of Time Lord culpability, from ethical disputes (Dastari) to cosmic consequences (Sontaran framing). Jamie’s role as witness to both scenes reinforces his transformation from clansman to Time-aware ally.
