Prop Metal Pan

A shallow metal pan used as a prop during the Doctor’s hypnotic demonstration. Its reflective surface catches the stage lights, amplifying the hypnotic effect. Jago initially resists the Doctor’s compulsion, but the pan’s presence—though unrelated—sharpens the tension of forced memory. Its mundane purpose contrasts with the scene’s supernatural tension.

Before: Covered on the floor, part of a props setup.

After: Replaced and partially obscured by the dove’s appearance.
