Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The life-or-death stakes established in Episode 19 (execution vs. political chaos) are amplified in Episode 20 as Peri becomes the explicit target of a grotesque obsession. This escalation tests Peri's resilience and the Doctor's capacity to protect her.
