Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Blade’s cold pragmatism in prioritizing Polly’s capture over the Doctor’s elimination sets the stage for her deployment as Michelle. This action directly causes her false identity to be presented at immigration, disrupting the Doctor’s plans and escalating the conflict. The chain of command within the Chameleon operation is both consistent and causally linked.
