Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection traces Oscar Arana's tragic trajectory from a host assisting the Doctor's mission (though with caution) to a victim who believes Shockeye will honor the rules of civilization (payment). His continuity as a character moves from pragmatic caution to fatal naivety, accelerating his downfall.
