Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Hobson's initial crisis in E23 is about external threats (virus, technical failures). By E24, his paranoia turns inward, targeting the Doctor and his companions, while new threats (vanishing patients, Cybermen) emerge. This escalation reflects Hobson's breakdown under pressure.
