Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's willingness to use destructive means to achieve his goals (explosives in Part 3) evolves into a moral escalation: rejecting escape to actively sabotage the War Lords' technology in Part 4. This reflects his character trajectory toward direct action against injustice.
