Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 23 (cand_evt_scene_334face7306f9b01_01), the Doctor abruptly terminates his radio conversation and dismisses Bert before rushing to the Cloven Hoof crisis. In Episode 24 (cand_evt_scene_5533349600be9ae8_01 and 02), Benton's growing unease about the Doctor's prolonged absence is a direct consequence of this hurried departure. Benton's insistence on searching for the Doctor demonstrates continuity in his character arc as a loyal but increasingly proactive ally.
