Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 8, Nyssa and Chela restrain a guard influenced by the Mara. In Episode 22, Sir Ranulf, as the False King’s enforcer, assists in condemning the Master—a dark reversal of roles. Both scenes highlight subordinates enforcing authority on behalf of a malevolent force.
