Narrative Connection

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Victoria's psychological state from Episode 9 (fear and confusion under Padmasambhava's influence) makes her vulnerable to Varga's coercion in Episode 12. Her compliance is a direct result of her earlier trauma and the Doctor's inability to fully protect her.
