Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's material needs (e.g., securing a car, lab access) ensure his immediate availability as a crisis responder in Ambassadors. This establishes systemic continuity: after defeating the Nestene, he secures resources to fight the next threat, reinforcing the escalating invasion plot.
