Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's refined plan—Barbara leading a diversionary attack while he and Vicki infiltrate the Carsinome—materializes as Prapillus, Hilio, Barbary, and Hlynia physically navigate the corridors to confront the Animus root. The Doctor's earlier analysis of the Animus's power source underpins the mission.
