Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events strip the crew of key functions: Biroc fractures temporal alignment (Ep17), Adric fractures K9’s analytics (Ep18). This escalation reflects Adric’s instability and the TARDIS’s overall collapse mirroring the crew’s relationships.
