Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Pinto’s abandonment of her post in Ep 34 removes a critical barrier to the Doctor’s investigations. This allows him to free Samantha and uncover the real Nurse Pinto, ultimately revealing Jamie’s abduction, creating a clear causal chain spanning episodes.
