Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Adric's passive observation of Nyssa being violently seized ('George abducts Nyssa amid fire chaos') contributes to his growing sense of powerlessness and alienation. This unresolved terror manifests in 'Earthshock' as he accuses the Doctor of neglect, framing his outburst as a response to prolonged emotional neglect tied to the Doctor's inconsistent mentorship.
