Doctor prepares wax-and-marble trap

Dom’s old shirt is repurposed by the Doctor as part of the smoke-generating distraction. The shirt, along with an aeronautical journal, is placed on a tray and ignited to produce thick, choking smoke that fills the study. This smoke serves as a critical distraction, obscuring the group’s movements and buying them time to escape. The shirt, once a personal item of Dom’s, becomes a tool for their survival, symbolizing the group’s improvisational resourcefulness and the high stakes of their situation.

Before: Handed over by Dom, intact and unused.
After: Burning on the tray, contributing to the thick smoke filling the room.
