Travers Rejects Yeti Theory

In a confined prison cell, the Doctor attempts to persuade Edward Travers that the Yeti—not himself—was responsible for the brutal attack that killed Travers' companion. The Doctor argues that the Yeti possess the necessary strength, but Travers dismisses the idea outright, accusing the Doctor of seeking personal glory and fabricating the story for sensationalism. The Doctor, frustrated, questions whether he could physically commit such a violent act, but Travers refuses to engage further, shutting down the conversation entirely. His insistence on continuing the expedition—despite the danger—underscores his stubbornness and deep-seated obsession with proving the Yeti's existence. The exchange escalates the distrust between them, leaving the Doctor isolated and Travers more determined than ever to press forward, even as the supernatural threat looms. The scene highlights the clash between rational skepticism and desperate belief, while reinforcing the Doctor’s growing sense of urgency and Travers’ refusal to acknowledge the true danger they face.
