Doctor exposes Kerensky’s fatal flaw in time theory

The carcass of the experimental chicken appears as skeletal remains when the temporal bubble collapses, then reassembles briefly during the Doctor's polarity reversal. These remains serve as physical proof of the device's destructive nature, transforming from grim relic to temporary living form and back.

Before: Scattered skeletal remains of collapsed temporal experiment

After: Briefly reassembled into whole chicken before further degeneration

Duggan ends Kerensky’s experiment with a blow

The skeletal remains of the chicken visibly re-form and then dissolve back into the egg under the Doctor's polarity reversal, marking the instant of the experiment's total collapse and becoming the grotesque icon of temporal hubris that provokes Duggan's violent response.

Before: Disjointed pile of temporal remnants littering the control chamber floor

After: Collapsing and reconstituting briefly before vanishing from existence, leaving no trace behind

Romana uncovers hidden chamber behind wall

The skeletal remains of the chicken appear as grim relics of temporal collapse, first as a disjointed pile and then briefly reconstituting under polarity reversal. These bones convey the experiment's grotesque failure, acting as a visual indictment of Kerensky’s flawed methodology and the Doctor’s forensic dismantling of the science.

Before: A heap of disjointed skeletal fragments on the laboratory floor.

After: Reconstituted briefly into a grotesque form before collapsing back into a heap and disappearing entirely.
