Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

This connection tracks Peri's growing defiance and her need to navigate oppressive power structures. In Episode 1, her frustration with the Doctor mirrors her later defiance of Glitz and her silent resistance during Katryca’s interrogation. Her early discomfort with authority sets up her emerging agency in Episode 3.
