The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's improvisation with a shoe as a decoy during the infra-red guard confrontation demonstrates his ability to learn and adapt strategies mid-crisis. This sets up his later use of Harry's shoe as a distraction against the same guard system, showing the Doctor's evolving tactical thinking under pressure."
