Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Jamie's leadership of Parry to the hatch leaves Toberman exposed, leading to his capture in Episode 3. This capture is weaponized by Klieg in Episode 4, where he separates Toberman from the group and uses his experimental subject status to harass and threaten Jamie and the Doctor.
