Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The mission's centrality to the Doctor's arc in Episode 1 is mirrored by Romana's role in Episode 9, where she must act as the guardian of that mission when the Doctor is otherwise occupied. This continuity underscores the Black Guardian's persistent threat as a shadow over their shared mission.
