Doctor seeks passenger list despite resistance

The Doctor produces a fake bouquet with deliberate flair, using it as a distraction to soften resistance to his questioning. Its exaggerated, unnatural appearance immediately draws suspicion from Janet and Rudge, raising doubts about his authenticity but also masking his true intentions during the exchange.

Before: Stored in an unknown location, unremarkable except to the Doctor who keeps it for deception purposes.

After: Still in the Doctor's possession, its prop status confirmed by the reactions of others, rendering it ineffective for sincere gestures.

After: Still in the Doctor’s possession, repositioned or set aside, not actively used during the confrontation about the trap.
