Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Sarah's initial confrontation with the robot (where it refuses to kill her) establishes her moral investment in its conscience. This investment drives her desperate risk-taking in Episode 3 to prevent the robot from harming the Doctor, creating a direct causal chain of agency.
