How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The emotional fracture among the companions after the Doctor’s disappearance in Episode 27 (Ian’s frustration, Barbara’s pragmatism, Vicki’s fear) is echoed in Episode 28 as the group fragments again under external attack, with Barbara and Vicki fleeing separately and Ian isolated."
