Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s confinement by Peladon’s authorities in Episode 17 is a precursor to his abduction by Azaxyr’s forces in Episode 18. This escalation in confinement reflects the growing threat posed by external forces (Federation/Ice Warriors) and Ortron’s complicity in the Doctor’s subjugation.
