Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries the Kraal's strategic escalation from containment to elimination, driven by Styggron's recognition of the Doctor as an existential threat. The abandonment of immediate capture in Ep14 leads directly to the genocidal timetable in Ep15.
