Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Skagra’s violation of the Doctor’s mind in Part 3 establishes his goal: eradicating knowledge (Salyavin’s erased memory). Romana’s mention of Salyavin in Part 4 directly counters this erasure, showing that the resistance to mental domination is evolving in real time.
