Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's curiosity about the City's 'advanced' technology (Episode 1) triggers his investigation into the 'savages' in Episode 2. The same system Jano proudly demonstrated becomes the source of the Doctor's horrified realization, creating a causal chain that underscores the City's hidden brutality.
