Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Robson's earlier refusal to acknowledge warnings directly causes his later vulnerability and need for Jones's intervention. His refusal to accept the Mechanical obstruction's heartbeat-like threat mirrors his later refusal to accept reality, tying his character arc across episodes.
