Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection traces Agella's role as Sharrel's disciplined second through both episodes. The immediate shift from Sharrel arming the team to coercing the Doctor via Romana shows a clear escalation in tactics, with Agella maintaining her operational precision. Romana's capture is a direct result of Sharrel's strategic evolution from reluctant advisor to proactive antagonist.
