Doctor exploits prisoner’s transformation to escape

The Doctor's security cell mattress becomes a crucial tool in his escape. When Bromley violently transforms and attacks the sentry, the Doctor uses the mattress to shove Bromley aside, creating an opening to slip through the broken bars. The mattress bends under the force, demonstrating the Doctor's resourcefulness and the urgency of the situation. Its use is a testament to his ability to improvise under pressure.

Before: Lying on the Doctor's cell bed, a standard prison-issue item.
After: Used to push Bromley aside, now slightly bent from the force, lying discarded near the broken bars.
