Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Pralix’s withdrawal from Zanak’s forced celebration (Episode 5) marks the beginning of his dissent, which culminates in his shedding the Mentiad cowl to reveal his true identity and actively shield the Doctor and Romana (Episode 7). This shows a clear character arc of defiance and alliance-building.
