Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 14, Polo withholds access to the TARDIS, rendering the Doctor powerless (cand_evt_scene_d187d4f73aa64acf_01). This mirrors the Doctor’s withdrawal and collapse in Episode 15 (cand_evt_scene_f0d193bd67ff0e09_01), both highlighting his dependence on the TARDIS and his vulnerability.
