Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Scorby's aggressive posture and enforcement of violence in Part 3 (challenging the Doctor in the greenhouse) directly informs his role in Part 4 — physically subduing the Doctor and exposing him to the compost grinder. This marks a continuity in Scorby’s escalating hostility and physical enforcement of Chase’s will.
About Causal Connections
