Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s assertion in Part 4 that Stahlman is infected by the green substance becomes a recurring motif in Part 5, culminating in Benton’s corruption. This continuity underscores the theme of insidious infiltration within systems of authority, where those sworn to uphold order become agents of its destruction.
