Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Jamie’s fierce loyalty and protective instincts—established when Varga kidnapped Victoria—drive him to volunteer for the perilous glacier mission despite the Doctor’s warnings. This creates a causal chain where Victoria’s abduction in Part 2 necessitates Jamie’s actions in Part 3.
