Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The initial disclosure of Romana’s capture in Episode 2 (cand_evt_scene_fb21ce006bc6c147_1) echoes the thematic parallel of unmasking deception in Episode 3’s discovery of Cassandra’s robotic nature (cand_evt_scene_03842525eb642505_3). Both events force the Doctor—and Tyssan— to reassess trusted alliances amid chaos.
