Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This is a CAUSAL link where the escalating temporal crisis (exposed in Episode 23) forces the Doctor to reorient the team and entrust Jo with critical operational responsibility (time detection) in Episode 24. It maintains narrative momentum and underscores the escalating threat.
