S19E3 · Castrovalva Part 3

Doctor meets the Portreeve through townsfolk

Before: Empty when Ruther, Mergrave, and Shardovan leave; curtained off and minimally appointed with medicinal supplies nearby

After: Occupied by the Doctor, who lies down to feign compliance while preparing his next tactical move
