Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
From acknowledging the creature’s danger (Episode 1) to accepting the necessity of lethal action against the Doctor (Episode 2), the Council’s stance intensifies. Zorac, in both events, supports the motion, showing an escalation of institutional rigidity under crisis conditions.
