Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Yrcanos' transformation from captive to aggressor in Episode 6 sets the stage for his distrust of the Doctor in Episode 7, which Peri must navigate as she balances loyalty to both figures. This escalates Peri's crisis of trust and moral agency across episodes.
