Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection establishes Polly's role as a vulnerable companion whose early actions (warning others, exploring alone) directly result in her later peril (forced transformation experiment). It forms a critical arc of Polly's physical and psychological trauma, carrying forward the tension of the episode's central conflict.
