Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The revelation forces Zadek to recognize the fragility of Tara's power structure, directly motivating his aggressive pursuit of Grendel in Episode 16. This creates a causal chain where the Doctor's truth-telling enables Zadek's heroic action.
