Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

In Episode 17, Mary participates in discussions highlighting Jo’s absence (e.g., 'I wish the Doctor was here') and her dependence on him. In Episode 18, she directly demands Ashe reveal Jo’s capture, showing a thematic parallel in her commitment to Jo’s welfare as a narrative throughline.
