Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's authoritarian addressing of allies ('Run for your life!', 'Stay hidden') in Episode 12 evolves into his taking charge of a desperate escape in Episode 13. The stakes escalate from cosmic parasitism to systemic tyranny.
