Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s failed persuasion in Episode 3 (Federico dismisses him) turns into decisive intervention in Episode 4, where he exposes the truth (Federico’s death), disarms the cult’s power, and rallies allies. This escalation shows the Doctor’s shift from advisor to active leader.
