Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Ben is referenced as captured in Episode 13 (Part 5 Act 3), and his practical resilience is validated when he reunites with the Doctor in Episode 14. The similarity in events (Ben being threatened; Ben acting as voice of reason) parallels his growth from an 'able seaman' relying on instincts to a companion embedded in crisis decisions.
