Zoe's Adhesive Tape

Zoe cuts strips from this adhesive tape roll amid the debris of a war-torn clothing store. The Doctor grabs the pieces and tapes thin wires directly to plastic panels embedded in the wall, aiming to reverse the magnetic forcefield's polarity. The tape holds firm under pressure as he works quickly, prying the panels apart with Carstairs watching nearby.

Doctor improvises magnetic field bypass

Zoe's adhesive tape is a crucial tool in the Doctor's improvisation, providing the means to secure the wires to the plastic panels. Without the tape, the wires would not stay in place long enough to reverse the magnetic field. Zoe's precise cutting of the tape strips demonstrates her practical assistance, even as she questions the Doctor's approach. The tape's strength and adhesiveness are tested under pressure, highlighting its role as a makeshift but effective solution.

Before: A roll of adhesive tape, intact and unused, lying among the debris in the clothing store.
After: Cut into strips and applied to the plastic panels, now an integral part of the Doctor's improvised device.
