Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

This parallel highlights the Doctor and Vaughn as mirrors of each other's strategic thinking - both need technological expertise (neuristors/Watkins) to complete their plans. It frames the Doctor's improvisation as the positive counterpart to Vaughn's desperate attempt to control inevitable betrayal.
