Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Tegana's role as an antagonist increasingly destabilizes Polo's authority. In Episode 14, he initiates violence; in Episode 15, he subtly tests Polo's vigilance and later sabotages supplies. This escalation reflects Tegana's broader plan to undermine Polo and seize the TARDIS.
