Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
These parallel deceptions highlight the same theme: false appearances (a fake key, a false priestess) endanger the group and force the Doctor to confront the ethical limits of his companions’ autonomy. Each episode explores how deception erodes trust and escalates danger.
