Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection underscores Hepesh's duplicity as a manipulative force. His actions in Part 3 create the conditions for the Doctor's discoveries in Part 4, tying the two episodes together through Hepesh's consistent role as the villain.
