Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Jo's refusal to accept the Doctor's death in Episode 22 (despite evidence) foreshadows her growth in Episode 23 into a character who not only questions the Doctor's scientific dismissal of supernatural threats but also defies UNIT's military approach."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Jo's emotional refusal to accept the Doctor's death is the foundation for her intellectual and moral growth in Episode 23. Her skepticism of Hawkins and Reeves' clinical assessments mirrors her later skepticism of the Doctor's rigid scientific worldview, showing her evolution from loyalty to independent critical thinking.
