Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's solution in Part 3 ('build a diothermic energy exchanger') becomes the central technical objective Osgood and UNIT pursue in Part 4. This establishes a direct cause-and-effect chain between the Doctor's strategic insight and the team's execution under pressure.
