Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The immediate threat posed by Polly’s eyewitness account (Episode 31) drives the Doctor’s investigation into her disappearance (Episode 32). This creates a direct narrative link where the Doctor’s actions are a direct response to Blade’s earlier prioritization of capturing her.
