Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events reflect the Doctor’s ability to identify and weaponize environmental factors (oxygen pressure vs. UV light) to neutralize threats. The earlier escape gambit establishes his pattern of using science and improvisation, which culminates in the Myrka’s UV vulnerability in Episode 3.
