Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection highlights Romana’s ethical conflict: her loyalty to the Doctor (Episode 10) collides with Adrasta’s manipulation (Episode 11), forcing Romana to question whether rescue and destruction are compatible. It escalates her internal conflict and aligns with her character arc as a protector who must balance duty and morality.
