Shockeye captures Peri through predatory force

Shockeye exploits Peri's moment of vulnerability, seizing her with calculated brutality. He feigns false tenderness to mask his predatory intentions, describing her body in objectifying culinary terms that reveal his cannibalistic impulse. The deception collapses into violence when he strikes her unconscious, removing any chance of resistance. The abduction shatters the group's fragile safety and propels the Doctor into a frantic search that exposes deeper layers of the Sontaran plot.
