Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Episode 26 establishes that the Yeti abducted Travers alive for a purpose (cand_evt_scene_ccefb60a5477182c_01). In Episode 27, the Intelligence uses Travers’ body as a vessel to deliver its ultimatum (cand_evt_scene_dc29d5ce5972f736_02), transforming a tactical kidnapping into a hostage-and-propaganda tool that attacks the Doctor’s psyche.
