Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Tomas's actions in Episode 14—bursting into the crisis to warn the Doctor, accepting alien weaponry, and challenging Andor—earn Calib's trust, enabling their shared survival mission in the forest in Episode 15. This establishes Tomas's evolving role as both a pragmatic warrior and a trusted leader under Calib.
