Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Dodo’s act—suggesting hidden affiliations or external influences—mirrors Polly’s complete mental subversion. This thematic parallel links the two women’s arcs: both are co-opted by WOTAN’s manipulative systems, warning of the pervasive, insidious nature of its control.
