Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's decision to pursue the rescue mission in Episode 18 leads directly to the Skonnans' hostile inspection of the TARDIS in Episode 19. This connection explains the change in location and introduces new antagonists (Skonnans) who capture K9.
