Web’s First Human Victims Discovered

The Yeti are the primary enforcers of the Great Intelligence’s will, and their involvement in the breach of the Goodge Street Fortress entrance is evident from the broken door and the web-covered objects. Though not physically present in this scene, their presence is felt through the destruction they leave behind. The Doctor’s immediate recognition of their work underscores their role as the Intelligence’s brute-force agents, advancing its invasion of London. Their absence in this moment is deceptive, as their potential proximity keeps the companions on edge.
