Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Grun’s symbolic control of movement in Part 2 is mirrored by Aggedor’s physical dominance in the tunnels in Part 3. Both represent the constraints imposed on the Doctor by Peladon’s traditions, escalating from physical to metaphysical confrontation as the Doctor’s investigation threatens the status quo.
