Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Drathro's mechanized authority in Episode 3 continually intrudes on Grell's actions, reinforcing the oppressive regime's control and exacerbating tensions between its members. This dynamic contributes to Grell's death in Episode 4 and Merdeen's subsequent guilt, which motivates the Doctor's confrontation with Drathro.
