Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's order for an immediate rescue operation (cand_evt_scene_fbd4f134c6764932_01) in Ep 25 sets up the team's desperate battle against the giant insect in Ep 26 (cand_evt_scene_887774bcf978ea8e_3). This escalation reinforces the Doctor's leadership and the persistent danger posed by the alien maggots.
