Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Tor’s journey from deep-seated fear and distrust of outsiders (as seen in Episode 3 when he confronts Steven and Dodo upon their arrival) to actively attempting to kill Jano (a potential ally) shows his character trajectory driven by unresolved trauma and fear. His distrust remains a driving force across episodes, shaping his actions despite the Doctor’s intervention.
