Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The urgency to rescue Romana after Tyssan reveals her fate in Episode 2 (via cand_evt_scene_e63b6cbdd238920c_1) escalates into a high-stakes confrontation in Episode 3 where the Doctor leverages Davros as a shield to negotiate Romana's release (cand_evt_scene_1d1211d945111ca6_1). Tyssan's involvement in both events highlights his evolving role from a broken prisoner to a proactive rebel under the Doctor's influence.
