Fariah recruits Victoria into Salamander’s circle

The Public Gardens bench is the central stage for this event, a neutral yet charged meeting ground where the fate of the Doctor's companions is decided. It serves as a physical and symbolic boundary between the resistance's plans and Salamander's recruitment efforts. The bench is where Victoria sits, where Jamie rejoins her, and where Fariah delivers her job offer—a pivot point that shifts the dynamic from celebration to infiltration. Its role is functional, providing a setting for the exchange, but it also carries symbolic weight as a place of transition, where loyalty and deception collide.

Before: Occupied by Victoria and Astrid, a neutral meeting spot in the Public Gardens.

After: Vacated by Astrid and Victoria, now a site of strategic recruitment under Fariah's influence.
