Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The institutional machinery that produces accusations in Part 2 is used to justify executions in Part 3, highlighting how Traken’s bureaucratic rigidity enables Melkur’s rise. The Doctor’s status shifts from 'accused outsider' to 'condemned traitor,' escalating Katura's institutional complicity.
