Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Sara's growth from challenging the Doctor's methods in Episode 20 to actively disobeying his direct orders in Episode 21 reflects her evolving agency and trust in her own judgment over blind obedience. This continuity in her character trajectory bridges the two episodes.
