Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The killing of a farmer by the Silurian Scout (Ep 2) introduces immediate physical threat, but Liz’s attack (Ep 3) occurs inside human space (barn) and involves a visible member of UNIT, escalating the crisis into a direct attack on a scientific ally. This forces UNIT and the Doctor into urgent, overt action.
