Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Sara's proactive, independent streak (fixing the TARDIS scanner despite exclusion) foreshadows her later insistence on aggressive, decisive action against the Daleks (e.g., sabotaging the Daleks' invasion fleet)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection traces Sara's evolution from a self-reliant technician to a vengeful, proactive warrior. Her act of fixing the scanner (EP16) demonstrates her competence and frustration with being sidelined, which recurs in EP17 where she demands a return to Kembel to destroy the Daleks rather than flee further. Both events show her pushing back against the Doctor's evasion tactics, marking her growing agency and militancy.
