Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In Episode 43, Zoe's rare moment of raw vulnerability ('Doctor, you can't!') occurs when she believes the Doctor will reprocess them. In Episode 23, she again appears in a state of terror, trapped in a force field illusion, echoing that same emotional helplessness."
