Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This link carries the central conflict of Scaroth's temporal art heist across episodes. The Doctor's forensic confirmation of the heist (Episode 6) provides the context for Romana's targeted sabotage (Episode 8), directly escalating the temporal conflict.
