Shockeye's Excessive Family Paella Feast

A lavish paella meal prepared by Shockeye, piled high on a communal platter with golden rice, saffron-tinted broth, and generous portions of seafood, chicken, and vegetables. The dish overflows the serving dish, its excess visually jarring against the setting of a modest restaurant. Oscar and Anita recoil at the bill's astronomical total, realizing the meal's staggering cost reflects not culinary necessity but Shockeye's grotesque indulgence amid a mission critical to stopping Sontaran forces.
