Object
Bragen's Crackers
Bragen leaves crackers in the guest quarters alongside fruit as a hospitality gesture. The Doctor grabs them and offers pieces to Ben and Polly with playful nonsense—'crackers!'—to distract and deflect suspicion while he slices open fruit, uncovers the embedded listening device, and stamps it underfoot. Ben reacts skeptically; Polly grows uneasy. The act exposes colony surveillance and the Doctor's sharp instincts.
