Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s identity performance in Episode 13 (as Maximus Pettulion) directly leads to his continued deception in Episode 14, where he pretends to play the lyre despite no skill. This pattern demonstrates his adaptability but also highlights the moral compromises required to survive.
