Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Scorby's hostage-taking and physical threat in Part 2 escalate the immediate danger, which manifests in the survival crisis Sarah faces in Part 3 when rescuing the Doctor. This mirrors the escalation of Scorby's ruthlessness across episodes.
