Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's past experiences with losing companions (Polly and Ben) directly inform Samantha's determination to find Jamie, creating a character arc progression where loss drives action. Sam's active role contrasts with Jamie's passive situation, showing how different characters respond to the same trauma template.
