Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Doctor’s emotional and tactical investment in recovering Romana (and others) is a direct continuation of his refusal to abandon companions in Episode 23. This underpins his willingness to push boundaries with the ship’s AI in Episode 24.
