Doctor Diagnoses Gas Leak in Harris' Quarters

The Harrises’ quarters window becomes a critical tool in the Doctor’s rapid response to the gas leak. Jamie smashes it on the Doctor’s orders, creating an opening to vent the toxic fumes and restore breathable air to the room. The window’s destruction is a physical manifestation of the group’s urgency, transforming a mundane household feature into a lifeline. Its role is purely functional in this moment, but symbolically, it represents the invasion of the refinery’s dangers into the Harrises’ private sanctuary, shattering their sense of safety.
