Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Rask's visceral hatred for Idmon in E19 is sublimated into his obsessive focus on the cylinders in E20—symbolically containing Idmon's legacy. When he ignores the Doctor's warning about the bombs, it becomes clear that violent control is his only language, regardless of consequences.
