Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Episode 12 focuses on the enforcement of Gallifreyan institutions (Vault security, Chancellery protocols), while Episode 15 examines the Tesh colony's rigid, hierarchical structure. Both scenarios feature the Palace Guard as a symbol of unquestioning institutional adherence, reinforcing the theme of security as a narrative backbone in the series.
