Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's expressed desire to leave at the end of Episode 36 (e35099dcd735faee_02) contrasts sharply with his forced compliance to Wyatt's authority and deputization in Episode 37 (e182e32f149152bd_02), demonstrating his growing entanglement in the conflict.
