Doctor's Makeshift Escape Balloon Sheeting
The Doctor salvages thin, flexible plastic sheeting from the cooling chamber's lining, its transparent surface catching the artificial light with a brittle sheen. The material is torn at one corner, frayed where it was hastily cut to size, but still captures air with surprising efficiency. The group secures the four corners with frayed ropes, stretching it taut like a drumhead until the refrigeration updraft inflates it into a lopsided, shuddering bladder. Rebeca's hands tremble as she holds the opening wide—one wrong shift and the fragile skin will tear completely.

Significance
A visible pivot in the Doctor's unconventional problem-solving; transforms a mundane chamber lining into a life-saving device when high-tech options fail, directly enabling the group's survival. The plastic's fragility heightens the tension—every gust threatens its integrity as Dalek forces breach the doorway.
