Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Harry's head wound establishes his medical fragility, which later enables the Zygons' biometric seizure. This escalates both stakes (his health) and threat (his replication) across episodes, demonstrating a direct trajectory from victim to tool of the antagonists.
About Escalation Connections
