Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's feigned admiration for Zaroff's work in Episode 20 is a façade masking his true intent to expose and undermine him. In Episode 21, this undercover intelligence leads to a bold plan—the kidnapping of Zaroff. This continuity of the Doctor's strategic mind is critical to the plot.
