Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s pause in Episode 2 when noticing Adric’s absence creates a thematic continuity about abandonment and hidden agendas. This moment prefigures Adric’s spectral appearance under the Master’s control in Episode 3, highlighting Tegan and Nyssa’s growing distrust and the Doctor’s intuitive awareness of danger.
