Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection traces Willow Man's evolving role across episodes: first seen as an unnamed bystander pointing the way for the Doctor, then later as a named companion to Priscilla Vex who demonstrates independent judgment by refusing an order. The contrast underscores his growth from a background figure to a character capable of challenging hierarchical commands, aligning with the lens of character trajectory.
