Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Doctor's humiliation and vow to work with UNIT ('They've trapped me here!') in Part 3 establishes his pragmatic acceptance of the situation, enabling the Brigadier's more aggressive plan in Part 4. This escalates the conflict from passive observation to active rebellion.
